Amanda Fosters has served an assistant coach to the women's basketball program since 2018. Before arriving to Oxy, Foster spent the last seven basketball seasons as an assistant coach for the girl’s varsity team at her alma mater Marshall High School in Los Feliz.
"Amanda brings great energy and presence and while specifically focusing on post player development" Oxy head coach Anahit Aladzhanyan said.
Foster graduated from Long Beach State University in 2009 with a degree in Child Development and Family Studies.
As a player, Amanda holds scoring, rebounding, and blocked shot records, in addition to recently being inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at Marshall High School. After receiving an athletic scholarship to play basketball at LBSU, Foster’s promising career was cut short due to knee injuries.
Dedicated to give back to her own community in working with children and athletes, Foster is no stranger to OXY. She has attended many of woman’s basketball games, first in support of her high school teammate and head coach, Anahit, and then in support of her twin sister Lauren who was an assistant coach during the 2013/2014 campaign. Foster has also worked for Brian Newhall, the men's basketball coach, as a camp coach in his program over the last several years.
