This year, the Pepperdine Athletics Department welcomes three new head coaches to its staff: Lorenzo Romar, Joe Spahn and Adam Schaechterle.
Romar is optimistic about his return
After 19 years, Romar returns to the Pepperdine Men’s Basketball program. Romar, who spent his college basketball career at University of Washington and played for five years in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, and Detroit Pistons, first served as a head coach for the Waves in 1996. After three seasons, he moved onto the University of Saint Louis and then back to the University of Washington for the next 15 years before taking a position as associate head coach for the University of Arizona most recently.
