Wingate is looking forward to having Basham on campus.

“Takisha has a variety of coaching experience at various age levels,” Wingate explained. “She clearly has proven she has the capabilities to teach and train student-athletes to help them perform to their maximum abilities. I’m excited to have her on campus working with our players.”

Basham earned a Bachelor of Science degree from West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia, in December 2007.

She arrived on campus late last week and will begin her duties immediately.
