Former WNBA player and Sacramento native, Vicki Baugh, is currently in her fourth season an assistant coach at UC Davis in 2026-27.
Baught, who joined head coach Jennifer Gross' staff, in May of 2023, works primarily with the Aggies post players and was instrumental in the development of UC Davis center Megan Norris. During the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons, Baugh's coaching helped elevate Norris to become one of the best big in the country. After Norris broke the single-season Division I rebounding record in 2024-25, she became the school's all-time rebounder while also being named All-Defense and First Team All-Conference by the Big West.
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 collegiately at 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 campaigns. Baugh returned in 2010-11 and 2011-12 to end to her collegiate career with two strong seasons, leading her team to back-to-back SEC titles and Elite Eight finishes in the NCAA Tournament. In her 2011-12 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 third 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 finishing playing her final WNBA season with the San Antonio Stars in 2016.
Baugh then took her talents overseas, enjoying stints in South Korea and Europe from 2017-22 before retiring as a professional player and moving on to her coaching career.
