Kasondra Foreman returned to her alma mater and joined her college coach Jalie Mitchell in 2015.
Foreman, a 2012 North Texas graduate and women’s basketball player, has duties that include game planning, scouting, and is the program’s recruiting coordinator.
Before joining North Texas, Foreman was at Northwestern State for two years, serving as assistant coach with a special emphasis on recruiting and guard development.
In 2013-14, Foreman helped guide the Lady Demons to a program-record 21 wins as they reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time. With a 19-15 record and another Southland Tournament championship, NSU again reached the NCAA Tournament. In Foreman’s two seasons in Natchitoches, the Lady Demons compiled an overall record of 40-28, including a 21-15 mark in Southland play and went 7-0 in Southland Tournament games.
At NSU, Foreman was responsible for recruiting stellar Texas talent, including Emerald Mayfield from Bowie High School in Arlington. Mayfield was District 7-5A MVP, as well as First Team All-District and Offensive Player of the Year. Another incoming recruit, Brynae Thompson from Cy-Fair High School in Houston, was a two-time All-District Honoree and won MVP awards at the AAU Georgetown Invitational and the 2012 Insiders Tournament.
Foreman donned the green and white on the Super Pit from 2010-12, making 31 starts in 59 career appearances for the Mean Green. During the 2010-11 season, she averaged 6.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while leading the team with 99 assists - 3.3 per game. For her performance, she was named the team’s Newcomer of the Year.
During the 2011-12 season, Foreman was coached by Karen Aston and Jalie Mitchell as the Mean Green improved to 15-16 following a 5-25 record the previous year. Mitchell recruited Foreman to North Texas from Weatherford CC where she averaged 10 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. To this day, Foreman considers Mitchell “one of the most influential young ladies” in her life, which makes their reunion with the Mean Green even more special.
Foreman graduated from North Texas in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and a minor in communication. Foreman was also a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and helped run summer camps for young players. She also holds a master’s degree in health and human performance from NSU.
