Jamie Lynn Craighead (born May 23, 1980) is an American college basketball coach who is currently the head women's basketball coach at San Jose State.
Born in McCleary, Washington, Craighead grew up in nearby Elma. A 1998 graduate of Elma High School, Craighead earned four first-team all-league honors in basketball and was Washington 2A Player of the Year as a senior.
Craighead then attended the University of Oregon from 1998 to 2002. As a freshman, she played 12 games as a reserve, in a season where Oregon finished first in the Pac-10 and made the 1999 NCAA Tournament. In her sophomore season (1999–2000), Craighead moved up on the depth chart, as she became the team's second-leading three-point shooter and played in Oregon's 2000 NCAA Tournament first round game, an overtime loss to UAB. Oregon again won the Pac-10 in 2000.
In the 2000–01 season, Craighead started 28 games and averaged 11.4 points and 2.7 rebounds, in her third straight season on an Oregon team that made an NCAA Tournament.
As a senior in 2001–02 under new coach Bev Smith, Craighead started 35 of 35 games and averaged 7.9 points and 2.4 rebounds, helping Oregon win the 2002 Women's National Invitation Tournament. In the WNIT title game, Craighead made a three-pointer with 1:20 left to put Oregon ahead of Houston, 51-50. Oregon would win 54-52. Craighead graduated from Oregon with a B.A. in educational studies.
