Dodd: New Arizona HC Tommy Lloyd ready for challenges of repairing Wildcats

By Dennis Dodd, CBS Sports: It’s still Arizona to Tommy Lloyd.

The perennial power the new Wildcats coach has taken over is admittedly wounded waiting for the NCAA’s big hammer. In fact the detritus that Sean Miller left behind is the reason Gonzaga’s superstar assistant is here in the first place.

The 46-year old being realistic about his place in the universe doesn’t even cover it. Arizona may have even gotten lucky with Lloyd while awaiting potentially crippling penalties from an NCAA investigation that is essentially in its fourth year. That September day in 2017 that the Southern District of New York announced its college basketball arrests, the sport has been stained.
