Before working at California, Bassett spent the 2008 season at St. Mary's as the goalkeeper coach and video analyst. In addition, she was also the team's travel coordinator, equipment manager and a camp director.

Her coaching career began in 2007 when she spent a year as an assistant coach with her alma mater, the University of San Diego. At USD, Bassett served as the goalie coach and coordinated and promoted successful USD summer soccer camps and clinics while supporting and monitoring the academic progress of the student-athletes. That team posted a school-best 15-3-3 record, which included an 11-game unbeaten streak.

A four-year letterwinner at San Diego, Bassett helped the Toreros advance to the NCAA Tournament in each of her four seasons. She was named USD MCP in 2004 and was also a West Coast Conference Scholar-Athlete, plus earned All-WCC honorable mention in 2003. Bassett attended a US Under-21 National Team training camp while playing at USD, and in 2003 and 2005, she trained with Italian Serie A teams, ACF Milan and Fiammamonza.
