ATQ: The Wildcats started with a new coach, Tommy Lloyd, this year; and while it’s presumptive to make comparisons at this point, Arizona is sporting the kind of record we would have expected under Lute Olson, and to an extent Sean Miller. What was the mood/reaction to Lloyd’s hiring with the Wildcats fanbase? Is Arizona exceeding expectations as compared to the beginning of the season, or did you feel you had a sleeper that has brought Arizona back in the top of the national rankings?
DS: It was a mixed reaction at first to Tommy Lloyd’s hiring, with a lot of fans and alumni hoping the school would bring in a former player like Damon Stoudamire to run the program, in hopes of reconnecting to the Lute Olson era.
