After graduating from the University of Florida, Bishop became the head of the physical education program at Buchholz Junior High School in Gainesville.

Bishop became the head coach of the Florida Gators golf team of the University of Florida in 1964.
Fifteen of Bishop's golfers earned a total of twenty-five All-American honors between 1964 and 1978.
Strangely, Bishop had never played golf before becoming the head coach of the Gators golf team.
When he started to play following his appointment as coach, he went from novice to breaking 80 on the University of Florida Golf Course within a month.

Bishop was born in Gainesville, Florida.
Under his tutelage, the Gators won the 1968 NCAA national championship; it was the first national championship in any sport for the university's intercollegiate athletics program.
During Bishop's tenure as head coach, the Gators won four SEC team championships (1968, 1973, 1974, 1975), and only finished worse than third in the ten-team SEC once in his fifteen seasons leading the team.
Six of his student-athletes won eight individual Southeastern Conference (SEC) titles: Steve Melnyk (1968), Jimmy McQuillan (1971), Gary Koch (1973, 1974), Phil Hancock (1975, 1976), Sam Trahan (1977) and Larry Rinker (1978).
Starting in 1970, eight of his Gators received sixteen first-team All-SEC honors.
Five years later, the Gators won a second NCAA national championship in 1973.
His fellow SEC coaches recognized him three consecutive seasons as the conference's Coach of the Year (1973, 1974, 1975).
The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) inducted him into its Coaches Hall of Fame in 1982.
He was also inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as an "honorary letter winner" in 1996.
