Freeman-Jackson enters her 22nd season as the head coach of the Alabama State University women’s basketball program. During the 2018-19 season, Jackson joined an elite group when she recorded her 300th career coaching victory at Alabama State.
 
Additionally, she has produced some of Alabama State’s best student-athletes. She coached the second leading all-time scorer Shameka Jackson; one of ASU’s all-time leading rebounders Crystal Kitt; as well as 1,000-plus point scorers Chrishutta Lewis, Nichole Miller and Tanika Jackson. Britney Wright was the latest ASU student-athlete to join the 1,000-point club as a student-athlete under coach Freeman-Jackson in the 2015-16 season.
 
The 2015-2016 campaign marked Freeman-Jackson and the Lady Hornets’ third SWAC Tournament title in over a decade and qualified them for their third NCAA tournament appearance since 2003. The Lady Hornets finished the season 19-12 overall and 14-4 in the SWAC.
