Tommy Lloyd’s Gonzaga roots have paid off for Arizona once again, this time to help fill an open spot on the coaching staff.
The UA has added former Bulldogs center Przemek Karnowski as a graduate assistant, taking the spot held last season by ex-Arizona forward Ryan Anderson.
“He actually showed up last night,” Lloyd said of Karnowski, who played for Gonzaga and Lloyd from 2012-17. “There’s a ton of value having a big man GA, and there’s not a lot of them out there.”
A member of Gonzaga’s 2016-17 team that reached the NCAA title game in Glendale, the 7-foot-1 Karnowski most recently played professionally in Poland but a series of injuries dating back to college have impacted his career.
