When the Arizona Wildcats’ season ended Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, so too did Lorenzo Romar’s tenure with the program.
The first-year assistant coach is set to head to Malibu where he will immediately take over as the new head coach of the Pepperdine Waves.
Romar’s lone season at Arizona was likely nothing what he expected it to be. He was hired in April, joining a talented team that was talked up as a national championship contender.
Not only would Arizona lose in the first round of the tournament, it went through the wringer for eight months before getting there.
