    Coach Baker might be the nicest coach in the country. Always caring, respectful, understanding and always put academics and mental health first. “You’re worth more than a scorecard, it’s only part of who you are, not who you are.” That’s one of his lines and he meant it. He is always honest and does it the right way; no blemishes on his scorecard
