Baldwin has spent the past 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.
That culminated last season with a school-record 24 victories and the first NCAA tournament berth in school history. NU's 2016-17 season 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.
Baldwin is the seventh head coach in Milwaukee's NCAA Division I era (1990-present) and the 22nd since basketball first started on the campus back in 1896.
