It took a lot less time for the Arizona Wildcats to find their next men’s basketball coach than it did to decide it needed a new one in the first place, though it probably seemed like forever.
Arizona is set to hire longtime Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd as the program’s next head coach, according to Jeff Goodman of Stadium, doing so less a week after parting ways with Sean Miller after 12 seasons.
Lloyd, 46, has spent the past 21 seasons at Gonzaga, the last 20 as an assistant coach and associate head coach, helping the Bulldogs win nearly 600 games and reach the NCAA final twice in the past five seasons.
