We are thrilled that Arizona Basketball Associate Coach Lorenzo Romar has been offered the head coaching job at Pepperdine University. Well, we at Zona Zealots are bittersweet; we are sorry to see him leave Arizona.
Last spring, Coach Romar was concluding his 15th season at Washington when he was let go after a 9-22 season. Not only has he been a good friend of Arizona Basketball head coach Sean Miller, he is widely referred to as a coach opposing coaches would like to play for. Thus, Romar and Miller began talking about the possibilities once Romar was released, and in very little time, Coach Romar was added to the Arizona Basketball staff.
