When it comes to NCAA Division I men’s college basketball, Rachel Baker is a pioneer as both a woman and an African American woman who has already earned a beloved reputation as the big sister of Duke basketball. Duke’s storied men’s basketball program hired Baker as its first general manager in June 2022, the early days of college basketball’s name, image and likeness (NIL) era. The daughter of college and pro basketball coach Rod Baker is also the first woman in college basketball to ever hold that position. As explained by Duke, Baker uniquely specializes in helping players “enhance their personal and professional skill sets, capitalize on strategic partnerships, including NIL opportunities, and work to support players in navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with being a student-athlete at the highest level.” She is believed to be the only woman in a general manager position in NCAA Division I men’s basketball.
