Arizona assistant basketball coach Rem Bakamus posted his gratitude to Tommy Lloyd, the staff, players, managers and fans in a social media post after it was announced earlier on Friday he was leaving to accept a job with Texas Tech.
Texas Tech made the hiring official on Friday. Bakamus was originally hired by Lloyd as the Arizona Director of Player Development for the 2021-22 season and became a full-time assistant coach before the 2024-25 season. Bakamus was a Gonzaga walk-on from 2017-21 when Lloyd was an assistant coach there.
Bakamus returns to Texas, where he was a graduate assistant at Baylor and was on the staff when the Bears won the 2021 national championship.
