Arizona expected to hire Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd as new men's basketball coach, sources say

Arizona is expected to hire Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd as its next head coach, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Over the past few weeks, Lloyd had emerged as the favorite to replace Sean Miller in Tucson. Arizona looked at coaches with connections to the Wildcats, namely Pacific's Damon Stoudamire, Georgia Tech's Josh Pastner and Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Miles Simon, but they opted to go outside the family.

Lloyd interviewed over the weekend, sources told ESPN, and is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
