TAB Baldwin is staying put for the time being.
Ateneo came to terms with the decorated mentor, re-signing him to a three-year contract on Saturday.
The school announced the news hours before the Blue Eagles opened their UAAP Season 88 campaign against Far Eastern University.
Baldwin's signing ensures that the American-Kiwi mentor will remain in Katipunan until Season 91, providing stability to the men's basketball program which missed the Final Four last season.
"Thank you for building such a strong program the past years,” said Ateneo president Fr. Roberto Yap, SJ. “And we are happy you are renewing with us.”
Building the Blue Eagles anew
Baldwin has been with the Blue Eagles for the past nine seasons, winning four championships, including a three-peat from Seasons 80-82.
His contract was set to expire at the end of the year, although this signing allays fears for any changes for the blue-and-white.
"With you guys, I will be able to be a part of rebuilding this program — bringing glory and success back to the hill," the former Gilas Pilipinas mentor said.
