Colorado College women’s basketball head coach Katherine Auguste announced the addition of Drew Mitchell as assistant coach on Thursday, Aug. 1. 

Mitchell’s reputation is well-known around the Midwest coaching tree. He has spent years coaching numerous levels of basketball, from AAU to NCAA DI and DIII, a valuable experience August believes will blend well with the winning culture established at CC. 

“Drew is going to bring so much to our program as we seek to maximize our team’s potential and achieve new levels this season,” Auguste said. “His love for the game, energy, and genuine care for developing student-athletes is felt in all that he does.” 

Mitchell was recently in a similar role at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mitchell helped lead the Kohwawks to a 21-6 record in the 2023-24 season that was capped by an appearance in the semifinals of the American River Conference Tournament. 

Prior to Coe, Mitchell was an assistant at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, IL, from 2018-2020 and then coached at Eureka College in Eureka, IL, from 2020-2022. While at Eureka, Mitchell assisted in various coaching roles, including coordinating offensive and defensive schemes, post-player skill development and numerous other administrative and game-related tasks.

Mitchell graduated with a master’s degree from West Virginia in 2021. He also received his bachelor’s degree from Western Illinois University, where he also served as a student assistant coach for two seasons, assisting the Leathernecks in their first-ever advancement to the NCAA Tournament in 2016-17.

“We are lucky to have someone with such tremendous experience joining us this season, and I look forward to all that Drew will contribute to our team, athletic department, and campus community as a Tiger,” Auguste said.
