Ashaun Baker joins Wabash College as the Little Giants' new head volleyball coach, Director of Athletics Matt Tanney announced today.
 
Baker takes over the Wabash program after a stint as the head volleyball coach at McCutcheon High School last season, where he guided the Mavericks' first-year program to 11 wins and a top-20 ranking among Indiana high school teams.
 
"Men's volleyball continues to grow in the state of Indiana, and Ashaun's local involvement with the sport in the interscholastic and club environments will help build our roster," Tanney said. "The team's first class of seniors will graduate in 2024, and it's exciting to see the program's continued improvement and development. Coach Baker's leadership is the next step in the upward trajectory of volleyball at Wabash."
 
Baker served as the head coach for the Munciana 15U Volleyball Club for the 2020-21 season. He is a board member of the Indiana Boys Volleyball Coaches Association. Baker was the 12U assistant coach and 15U head coach for the Boiler Juniors Volleyball for the 2017-18 season.
 
Baker earned a bachelor of science degree from Ball State University in 2021. He earned a master's degree in sport administration from Ball State in May 2023. Baker will also assist with the 17U boys' academy volleyball club in addition to his duties at Wabash.
 
"The leadership skills I've developed over a decade of volleyball, including the last six years of my professional life, will be a strength in both recruiting future players and developing the current members of the Wabash team," Baker said. "I want to see the program be successful off the court in our academic and professional development and on the court. Those things work hand in hand together."
 
Baker begins his duties on August 1.
