Baldwin hired as Milwaukee’s men’s basketball coach

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Patrick Baldwin is the new men’s basketball coach at Milwaukee.

Baldwin takes the job left open when Lavall Jordan became the coach at Butler. The 44-year-old Baldwin will be the third basketball coach in three seasons at Milwaukee.

It’s the first head coaching job for Baldwin, who was a top assistant at Northwestern. His first Division 1 coaching job was as a member of Tod Kowalczyk’s staff at Green Bay from 2002-2004.

The Panthers struggled in the regular season, but managed to knock off Detroit in the first round of the Horizon League Tournament, then go on to upset second-seeded Valparaiso and sixth-seeded Illinois-Chicago to reach the final.
