Pat Baldwin

Georgetown University Head Men’s Basketball Coach Patrick Ewing announced the addition of Assistant Coach Pat Baldwin in June 2022. Baldwin most recently served as the head coach at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.

ROAD TO GU: PAT BALDWIN
  • Baldwin arrives on the Hilltop after spending the previous five seasons as the head coach at UW-Milwaukee.
  • In his first season on the bench, he led the Panthers to 16 victories, an improvement of five wins over the prior season while also finishing four spots higher in the final Horizon League regular season standings.
  • During his first season, five different school records were set with Milwaukee advancing to the semifinals of the Horizon League Tournament, the first of three HL semifinal appearances for Baldwin-led teams.
  • Baldwin’s tenure saw a trio of Panthers earn All-Horizon League honors and one player on the HL All-Freshman team as well as the team among the NCAA leaders and nearly setting a program record for free throw percentage (.746, 2018-19).
  • Prior to UWM, Baldwin spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Northwestern, helping rebuild his alma mater into a force in the Big Ten. A key member of the Northwestern coaching staff under Head Coach Chris Collins, Baldwin saw the Wildcats increase their win total in each of his four years there.
  • In his final campaign with the Wildcats, Northwestern tallied a school-record 24 victories and the first NCAA tournament berth in school history. NU's campaign also included 10 wins in Big Ten play for the first time since the 1930s. That followed what was a school-record 20 wins during the 2015-16 campaign.
  • As an assistant coach at NU, where he worked primarily with the guards, Baldwin helped the Wildcats land recruiting classes ranked in the nation's top 30.
  • Baldwin started his coaching career at Lincoln University in Missouri (2001-02) with stops at UW-Green Bay (2002-04), Loyola Chicago (2004-11) and Missouri State (2011-13) before arriving at Northwestern in 2013.
 
BALDWIN, THE PLAYER & THE PERSON
  • Baldwin is a 1994 graduate of Northwestern and was one of the top players in school history. He still stands among the top 20 scorers, was a three-time team captain, graduated as the school's all-time leader in steals and assists, and was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year as a senior.
  • Baldwin was a standout player for Northwestern from 1990-94. He still ranks first in school history with 272 career steals, second all-time with 452 assists and 20th with 1,189 points. His 90 steals as a freshman in 1990-91 are the school's single-season record, while his 154 assists as a senior in 1993-94 rank third in school history.
  • The native of Leavenworth, Kansas played professionally in Bosnia and Croatia before joining the coaching ranks. 
  • Patrick and Shawn (née Karey) have four children: Patrick Jr., Tatum, Brooke and Claire.
