Judd Lattimore | Colgate University

Judd Lattimore joined the Raiders’ lacrosse staff as an assistant coach in July 2023. 

Lattimore comes to Colgate with more than two decades of collegiate coaching experience, most recently at Boston University, where he served as an assistant coach.  

As the Terriers’ defensive coordinator, he helped BU win back-to-back Patriot League regular season titles in 2022 and 2023. He also helped Boston University claim the Patriot League tournament championship in 2022, marking the first time the program won both the regular season and tournament. 

Under Lattimore's guidance, BU boasted the 17th-ranked defense in the country in 2022, holding opponents to an average of 10.65 goals per game. BU led the nation in caused turnovers per game (12.06) and ranked fifth in the country in ground balls per game (36.35). He coached the Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, with both also earning All-American honors.

Lattimore was instrumental in the success of the Terriers' faceoff unit during his first three years with the program. In 2020, the Terriers were 13th in the NCAA as a unit in faceoff percentage.

 

He arrived at Boston University after four years as the head coach at Holy Cross. He led the Crusaders to a pair of Patriot League postseason appearances in 2016 and 2017, including an upset victory at Navy in the 2017 quarterfinals which was the program’s first-ever postseason win. Under Lattimore’s leadership, Holy Cross earned a national ranking for the first time in school history.

 

Prior to his stint in Worcester, Lattimore was the offensive coordinator at Penn for two seasons. He helped lead the Quakers to the 2013 Ivy League championship, its first conference title in over 35 years.

 

Lattimore helped start the lacrosse program at Michigan in 2011 and 2012 as the program’s first offensive coordinator. He was instrumental in elevating the club roster to Division I.

 

Before that, he was the offensive coordinator at Bucknell for three seasons, including the 2011 campaign in which the Bison claimed their only Patriot League championship and won a program-record 14 games.

 

Lattimore returned to his alma mater to coach the offense at North Carolina for two seasons (2007-08). The Tar Heels had the 11th-ranked offense in the country in 2007 and finished the 2008 season ranked fourth in the nation. Before his time at UNC, Lattimore was on the Penn staff in 2006 and the Delaware staff in 2005. He began his coaching career at Geneseo State in 2002 as an assistant before moving to Limestone for two seasons in 2003 and 2004.

 

As a player, Lattimore was a two-year starter for the Tar Heels. Inside Lacrosse selected Lattimore as a preseason All-American in 2000. He graduated from UNC in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication.
