Baker resigns from Trotwood; Ladd to follow
TROTWOOD — If Trotwood-Madison is to continue its ultra successful boys high school basketball run, it will be without Mark Baker.
Baker resigned this week as the Rams’ head coach. And that isn’t the only high-profile T-M position that needs filling: Athletic director Jim Ladd will retire in June.
“It’s kind of bittersweet for me,” Baker said on Thursday. “There’s some schooling that I want to finish. This is the right time for me to step away from basketball and do that.”
Baker waffled about keeping the position or pursuing other career opportunities last week. He is seeking a master’s degree. He spent three seasons with the Rams.
“Mark Baker resigned by choice,” Trotwood principal Terry Logan said. “It kind of takes me by surprise. We realized we’re losing a very popular coach.”

Coach Baker you did an excellent job at Trotwood. You are a class act! Good luck in your future endeavors.

I can not believe that none of the Trotwood fans are on here playing the race card and saying he was run out because of his skin color.

Does this mean football coach Mo’ Better Cheeks could take Ladd’s place as AD. If he did, Da’ Wood’s recruiting would really take off,

Resigned? Terminated is the word. You can’t have players fighting at halftime of games and the coaching staff allow them. He got whacked.
