Basigi was at the helm of Hasaacas Ladies for 21 years. However, In 2013, Basigi led Hasmal to win the inaugural Ghana Women's Premier League title after winning the Southern Zone league and beating Fabulous Ladies by 2-1 in the championship final through a brace from Jennifer Cudjoe. The following year he led the team to win the Premier League again, beating Fabulous Ladies via a 5-3 penalty shootout in the final after the scores remained goalless in extra time.



In December 2015, he led the team to their third consecutive league title this time around beating Northern Zone champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies by a lone goal courtesy Samira Suleman in the 66th minute.
