Baldwin, Jr. is considering UW-Milwaukee, Duke, and Georgetown. Will he follow his father to UWM?
“We have no idea,” Coach Baldwin told WTMJ’s Scott Warras during a radio interview in March. “It’s your son. It’s his life. We want to make sure he makes the best decision he can for not only today, but for his future.”
Baldwin said it was important to let his son make his own decision.
“We have tried to allow our kids to have their dream,” he explained. “Let the kids be kids. (As parents), we should be consultants. The minute you (dictate) the direction they should go, that’s when they start withdrawing.”
