Many players and sports personalities knew Patrick Baumann well and had a good understanding of how he had not only helped them but also the game of basketball.
Shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Patrick Baumann. Basketball and sports in general have lost an advocate and a leader that worked tirelessly at @FIBA and the @IOC, and his wife and kids have lost a father and a husband way too soon. RIP Patrick Baumann 🙏🏼 https://t.co/7q0P1wR3lF
