OSHAWA, Ont. - The Durham College department of athletics would
like to formally announce that Tim Baulk is
leaving the women's basketball program and his post as head coach
after six seasons. Baulk has made the decision to spend more time
with his young family, focus on his teaching career and other
interests.
"Coach Baulk represented our institution well from the day he took
over the program both internally and externally," stated
Ken Babcock, Director of Athletics. "The grind of
coaching college basketball is not an easy one and having the
ability to spend more time with his family and two young children
is understandable. We thank him for his professionalism, integrity
and dedication to Durham College. We respect his goals and
ambitions and wish him nothing but the best."
Baulk joined the Lords with experience at the post secondary level
as the assistant coach at York University from 1995 to 2002 and
also a year prior at McMaster University. His background in
coaching also included the provincial and national scope where he
was the head coach of the women’s under 15 provincial team
from 2001-2003.
In six years with the Lords, he compiled an overall record of
46-100 and 35-59 in Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA)
conference play. His team qualified for the playoffs in four
seasons, but ultimately missed out on a berth to the OCAA
Championship. He was also a member of the Canadian Collegiate
Athletic Association (CCAA) female coaching apprenticeship program,
where he mentored Durham's all-time leading scorer Erin
Emery who he also coached for five seasons.
"Coach Baulk has left a positive imprint on many players that he
coached during the past six years and his mentorship of Erin with
the CCAA National Apprenticeship program is just one shining
example," stated Babcock.
The department of athletics will begin the search for a new
women's basketball head coach immediately.
The Durham College Lords are proud members of the OCAA and
CCAA.
