Former WNBA player and Sacramento native, Vicki Baugh, joined Head Coach Jennifer Gross' staff as an assistant coach in May of 2023.
Baugh graduated from Sacramento High School in 2007, selected that year as a First Team All-American by USA Today, Parade Magazine, EA Sports, and McDonald's. As a senior, she averaged 17.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.1 steals, and 3.4 blocks per game, leading the Dragons to a 29-4 record and the Northern California Division III final.
The Sacramento native was a standout for the University of Tennessee, reaching the NCAA Tournament in all four of her playing seasons with the Lady Volunteers. She won a national championship with the squad in the 2007-08 season before battling injuries for the next two years. Baugh battled back to enjoy an excellent end to her collegiate career, leading her team to back-to-back SEC titles and Elite Eight finishes in the NCAA Tournament. In her senior season, Baugh capped off her career in the college ranks by leading the Lady Vols in shooting percentage.
Baugh ascended to the professional level when she was drafted in the 3rd round (25th overall) of the 2012 WNBA draft by the Tulsa Shock. She spent two years with the Shock, playing 67 games across the 2014 and 2015 seasons before joining the San Antonio Stars in 2016.
Baugh then took her talents overseas, enjoying stints in South Korea and Europe from 2017 to 2022 before moving on to her coaching career.
