Former LETU women's basketball player Ashley Crockett returned to the YellowJackets bench as an assistant coach in June 2022. She completed her first year in 2022-23.
Prior to returning to her alma mater, Crockett was a social studies and history instructor at Longview High School from 2021-22.
During the 2021-22 school year, she served as an assistant coach for the basketball and track & field programs, responsible for the high jumpers at Hallsville High School.
She assisted in helping the basketball team win the 5A District Championship in 2021 at Hallsville High School. She coached a pair of female high jumpers to championships at district and area levels, while qualifying for the regional meet in 2021.
"I'm excited and grateful to be back at my alma mater again," Crockett said. "Being here during my four years as a student and member of the basketball team was totally a blessing. Being able to enhance my education and grow in my faith through Church on Purpose (Pastor Eric Love), was an all-around blessing. Very excited to rebuild and grow the women's basketball program and be part of a community that is very supportive and loving towards all members."
After graduating from LeTourneau, Crockett interned for the Texas Legends, the G-League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks in 2017-20, as a member of the game day operations staff. Her duties included but not limited to assisting in pregame preparation, in-game promotions, game-day entertainment, fan experience and community outreach functions.
During her four years as a member of the YellowJackets women's basketball team, Crockett appeared in 104 games, averaging 4.3 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest. She dropped in a career-high 20 points, knocking down six buckets and eight boards against ETBU in her senior campaign.
Crockett earned a bachelor's in sports management and master's in business administration from LeTourneau.
