The search is over for UTEP's next women's basketball head coach. Multiple reports early this morning indicated that Kevin Baker will be named head coach of the Miners today. A press conference is expected for later this afternoon.

Baker had spent the previous two seasons with Angelo State University and was with UT Tyler prior to his time with the Belles.

He also has high school coaching experience in East Texas.
