By Jason Scheer, Wildcat Authority: As soon as Arizona fired Sean Miller, the word around coaching circles was that a deal with Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd would come soon after. it was supposedly one of the worst kept secrets in the country and Lloyd has gone as far as to reach out to possible assistants and tell those around him that he was confident he was going to be the next coach at Arizona.
That may still be the case and it is completely possible Arizona lucks into the right decision, but it is clear that Arizona never had a plan to get there. When word that Lloyd was the clear choice started to surface, Arizona alumni became more vocal. It wasn’t a polite standoff either, as there are plenty of angry people that are making their voice heard directly to the athletic department.
