Coach Kevin Baker an educator first a coach second

The epitome of being successful on the basketball court through the implementation of teaching styles and quality motivational lessons is UTEP women’s head basketball coach Kevin Baker.

“I think anybody who claims to be a coach at some point feels like they are a teacher on the floor,” Baker said.

UTEP’s second-year head coach has an extensive college head coaching career consisting of several distinguished honors, including four Division II Lone Star conference coach of the year awards, a Division III NCAA tournament Sweet 16 appearance, and is a three-time coach of the year at the University of Texas at Tyler.
