Arizona plans to hire Gonzaga assistant coach Tommy Lloyd as the Wildcats new men's basketball coach, according to Stadium's Jeff Goodman.
Lloyd spent the last 20 years helping Mark Few build Gonzaga's program from mid-major castoff to men's basketball powerhouse. He joined Few's staff prior to the 2001-02 season after first serving as an administrative assistant. He will now get his first job as a head coach.
Pacific head coach Damon Stoudamire, Arizona assistant coach Jason Terry, Lakers assistant coach Miles Simon and Yellow Jackets coach and Wildcats alumnus Josh Pastner were also considered for the job.
