Tommy Lloyd Weighs UNC Offer Amid Arizona Success

0:00On March 25, Arizona Wildcats head coach Tommy Lloyd faces a big decision after North Carolina fire Hubert Davis on Tuesday. Lloyd's name tops the list of candidates for the Tar Heels job, with reports from ESPN, CBS Sports, and the athletic highlighting his strong interest. Other big names in the mix include Chicago Bulls Coach Billy Donovan. Boston Celtics executive Brad Stevens, Michigan's Dusty May, Iowa State's TJ, Otsilberger, Florida's Todd Golden, and Alabama's Nate Ots. Lloyd has built an impressive resume since taking over at Arizona in 2021. A Washington native, he spent two decades as an assistant at Gonzaga before moving to Tucson, where his teams hold one of the best records for inning. Coach, in their first five seasons, prying him away won't be cheap though. His recent five-year contract extension runs through 2030, and any school wanting him before April 15 owes an $11 million dollar. Buyout. Dropping to $9 million dollars after that date.
