The lone captain of Saint Mary's 2007-08 team, Golden finished his career as the Gaels' all-time leader in free-throw percentage (.852) and eighth with 269 career assists. He then played 2 seasons professionally overseas before returning to the United States to begin a business career. In 2012-13, Golden began his coaching career, first as the director of basketball operations at Columbia, a Division I program in the Ivy League. Prior to joining Smith's staff in 2016, Golden spent two seasons at the Auburn University under head coach Bruce Pearl.
