Arizona Basketball names its new Head Coach, former Gonzaga University Assistant Coach Tommy Lloyd, but not without a little controversy.

The Arizona Basketball Head Coaching position is a highly coveted job, even when the school is under evaluation for pending infractions through the NCAA’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP). The Wildcats self-imposed a post-season ban in 2020-21 and then fired their Head Coach Sean Miller over a week ago.
