Mark Price
Coach Mark Price, also Baylor's athletic director, grew up in basketball-crazed Kentucky and played at Brandenburg High School. He later played at Samford University where he earned his degree in 1998.
Before coming to Baylor in 2018, Price coached college basketball for 20 years at four different schools and has helped teams to five NCAA Tournament appearances and three NIT berths. While Price coached at Belmont University, the Bruins posted notable wins over the University of North Carolina, Stanford, Marquette, and the University of Georgia. The Bruins won an Atlantic Sun Conference championship and five Ohio Valley Conference titles. Price made a quick impression at Baylor, taking his first Raider team to the State Final Four.
"I truly enjoy coaching well-rounded and college-aspiring athletes," says Price. "Baylor provides great balance, offering a college preparatory academic setting while instilling a hyper-competitive athletic atmosphere."
"I've always tried to emphasize to my players that they are not playing for me, not for 'the coach,'" continues Price. "As coaches, my staff and I will equip them with necessary skill development and game strategy but we stress that athletes in the Baylor basketball program are playing for Baylor and for their teammates."
