University of Arizona Men's Basketball

Tommy Lloyd has established himself as one of the most successful coaches in college basketball history, building a powerhouse at the University of Arizona defined by winning, player development, and sustained national relevance. Since taking the reins of the Wildcats in 2021, Lloyd has authored the most accomplished opening stretch for a head coach in NCAA history, leading Arizona to multiple conference championships, deep NCAA Tournament runs, and a return to the Final Four—while setting multiple national records along the way. Now in his sixth season at Arizona, Lloyd's teams have become synonymous with unselfish play, offensive efficiency, and championship results, positioning the Wildcats among the elite programs in the country. Through his first five seasons, Lloyd compiled a 148–36 record, setting the NCAA record for most wins by a head coach in his first five seasons. Prior to Arizona, Lloyd served at Gonzaga for 20 seasons as an assistant coach, where the Zags posted a record of 578-109 and reached the NCAA Tournament every year. Lloyd was instrumental in signing and developing NBA players including Domantas Sabonis, Rui Hachimura, Kelly Olynyk, and many others. A 1993 graduate of Kelso High School in Washington, Lloyd attended Walla Walla Community College and finished his career at Whitman College, earning his degree in biology. He played professionally in Brisbane, Australia in 1997 and Dusseldorf, Germany in 1999.
