Make that three national coach of the year awards for Tommy Lloyd.
The Associated Press has tabbed Lloyd as its men’s basketball coach of the year, joining the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association in bestowing that honor on him.
Lloyd led Arizona to a 33-4 record in his 2021-22, his first season with the Wildcats and first as a head coach after spending more than 20 seasons as an assistant coach at Gonzaga. Under Lloyd, the UA set a record for most conference wins in Pac-12 history (18) and also claimed the Pac-12 Tournament title.
