Pepperdine Men’s Basketball has announced the hiring of Arizona’s Lorenzo Romar as its next head coach, according to a statement released on Monday, Mar. 12.

Romar, 59, is serving on Sean Miller’s coaching staff as the Associate Head Coach after serving as the head coach of University of Washington from 2002 to 2017. He will return to Malibu to assume his duties at the conclusion of Arizona’s season.

“My comfort level with Steve Potts and President (Andrew) Benton played a huge role in my decision to return to Pepperdine,” Romar said in the statement.
