She replaced Lindsay Gottlieb who left the program to become the head coach for the women's basketball team at the University of California, Berkeley.

During that run, she also saw two of her players earn spots on the All-Big West Tournament Team, sophomore guard Melissa Zornig and junior forward/center Kirsten Tilleman.

Tilleman also earned Tournament MVP honors after her double-double performance in the championship game versus Long Beach State.

Prior to her time with the Scarlet Knights, Mitchell spent the 2000–01 season as the top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma State University.

She was responsible for both preseason and off-season conditioning, coaching the guards during practices, developing a defensive game plan for each of Oklahoma State's opponents and working with the program's summer camps.

Her responsibilities with the Kangaroos included implementing strength and conditioning programs, creating opponent scouting reports and organizing all team travel.
