Mark Morefield became the ninth head coach in UMHB women's basketball history in April of 2015. He joined the Cru after a long and successful stint as a Division I men's basketball assistant coach. Morefield guided the Cru women to a 15-11 record and a berth in the ASC Championship Tournament in his first season at the helm.

He followed with an 18-9 campaign and another ASC Tournament berth. The Cru women finished 23-5 in 2017-18 to set a new school Division III era record for wins in a season. Morefield led UMHB to new heights in 2018-19, as the Cru finished 27-4, won the ASC West Division title and advanced to the NCAA Division III National Championships for the first time in program history. UMHB would go on to advance to the Sectional round after recording the first two NCAA postseason wins in program history and finished the season ranked 16th in the country in two national polls. The Cru would go on to win its first ASC Tournament Championship in 2019-20 and the Cru once again advanced to the Sectional Round of the NCAA Division III National Championships. UMHB would add a second consecutive ASC title with a victory over #2-ranked East Texas Baptist in the 2020-21 ASC title game. Morefield is 122-41 in six seasons in Belton and the Cru women also earned top two seeds in the ASC Tournament in five consecutive seasons for the first time in program history under his direction. UMHB is also 4-1 all-time in NCAA postseason play with Morefield as head coach

Morefield spent eight seasons as an assistant coach on Scott Drew’s staff at Baylor University. The Bears advanced to two NCAA Tournaments during his tenure, including an appearance in the Elite Eight in 2010. Morefield also coached three future NBA players at Baylor, with two of those going in the first round of the NBA draft. He was twice named one of Rivals.com’s Top 25 recruiters and helped recruit six Top 20 national recruiting classes over a ten-year span. With the Bears, Morefield served as the team’s recruiting coordinator, oversaw the offense, supervised individual workouts and scouting. Morefield moved to Baylor after spending five years as an assistant coach at Valparaiso University under Homer and Scott Drew. The Crusaders posted four 20-win seasons in that time and made three NCAA Tournaments appearances. He spent four years as a student assistant at Valparaiso and the Crusaders recorded at least 20 wins in each of those seasons, made three NCAA Tournament appearances and advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2008. Morefield has one year of professional experience as an assistant coach with the Texas Legends of the NBDL and was also a draft consultant for the NBA’s New Orleans Hornets in 2012. He has coached a pair of professional teams in international competition in the off-season and has also coached two Athletes in Action teams on international tours.

Morefield spent the 2014-15 season as the boys’ basketball coach at Vanguard College Preparatory School in Waco. He led the Vikings to a 26-5 record and the TAPPS Sweet 16. He also served as girls’ basketball coach at Texas Christian Academy in Waco for one year and also works with a developmental basketball program in Waco. Morefield is a 1998 graduate of Valparaiso University. He is married to Danika, the daughter of Baylor Women’s Basketball Associate Head Coach Bill Brock. The couple has two sons, Harrison and Ryan.
