During her three seasons with Buffalo, Baugh has helped develop the Bull's post players. Baugh moved to Buffalo from fellow Mid-American Conference member Northern Illinois where she spent one season as an assistant coach. As an assistant for the Huskies, Baugh coordinated team travel, handled film exchange, broke down film, scouted opponents and assisted with practice and game preparation. She also aided with the skill development of post and perimeter players.

Prior to being hired at Northern Illinois, Baugh spent time as an assistant coach at Bradley (2003-04), North Dakota (2002-03) and Wisconsin-Green Bay (2001-02). At North Dakota, Baugh helped lead the Fighting Sioux to a 26-6 record, a North Central Conference Championship and a spot in the NCAA Division II Regional Semifinals in 2002-03. North Dakota finished the season ranked 12th in the WBCA Division II poll.

Baugh began her coaching career as an assistant at Wisconsin-Green Bay during the 2001-02 season when she helped guide the Phoenix to a 24-7 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament after they won both the Horizon League regular season and tournament championship titles.

Baugh is a 1994 graduate of Eastern Illinois where she was a two-year letterwinner. As a team captain during the 1993-94 season, Baugh led the Panthers in scoring (15.1) and rebounding (6.9). Her 129 free throws made during the 1993-94 season still stands as a school record.
