To Contact Coach Billet:
gbillet@monmouth.eduGeoff Billet is in his fifth year of his second stint on the Monmouth coaching staff.
Billet served as an assistant coach during the 1999-2000 season and played a key role in Monmouth's seven-game improvement in the win column from the previous season. In 2000-01, he served as an assistant coach at his alma mater Rutgers University. Billet returned to West Long Branch during the 2001-02 season and in 2003-04 helped propel the Hawks to their first ever regular-season title, its third-ever NEC tournament crown and its third
trip to the NCAA Tournament.
As a player, Billet helped lead the Scarlet Knights to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in 1999 - Rutgers' first post-season appearance since 1992. The 6-0 guard averaged 12.7 points and 4.2 assists in his senior season, while finishing among the top 10 in the Big East in five categories, including 3-point field goal percentage. Billet finished his career ninth on the Rutgers' all-time scoring list with 1,480 points. He also bowed out as the Scarlet Knights' all-time leading 3-point shooter.
A member of the Big East All-Rookie Team in 1996, Billet started all but one game during his RU career (113 of 114 games). He is the only player in Big East history to score more than 1,400 points, collect 250 assists and make 100 3-point field goals. Billet was a three-time, first-team All-New Jersey selection and was tabbed the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association Rookie of the Year in 1996.
Billet, who earned his bachelor's degree in business finance from Rutgers, has also served as a counselor at many summer camps, including the prestigious Five-Star camp directed by Howard Garfinkel, as well as camps at Rutgers, Monmouth and Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, N.J., where he starred as a player from 1991-94.
