Tommy Lloyd

All right, we gotta keep this on the downlow. I nicked this BDW Premium info off another site. I know this may bring the Premium Content Cops beating at our door, but this is just too juicy....

When Tommy Lloyd cross dresses he likes to be called “Tammy.”

I’ll take the heat for any removed posts, or banning from the Premium Content Cops, but this had to be said.

That was a story PPU stole and they got the details wrong. The actual premium info is he lived a prior life abroad as a goatherd named "Thom Lloyd."

It's one reason his recruiting of European players goes so well, he can open doors in the basketball world, but also in the goatherding world. American players love AAU and the money in that system, but the inside info is that European players have more of an interest in goat-related professions should basketball not pan out.

My inaugural post here. I favored extending Miller, but understand the reasoning behind removing him. Now that Tommy Lloyd is our HC, I fully support him and, frankly, am quite optimistic about his success at Arizona. By all accounts he is a solid evaluator of talent and I expect his brand of basketball to be entertaining and successful in the PAC 12.

Welcome! Please keep posting. I need someone to keep me from being predisposed against Tommy Boy because I hate his bosses with the white hot fury of 10,000 suns.

I hated the process for the football coach search also, even sent scores of nasty emails to Prez Robbins (did the same during the BB extend/fire/hire fiasco). I have to admit, despite my contempt for Robbins, I am quite excited about both hires. Both guys bring a lot of energy, and both guys are truly excited and grateful to be at Arizona.

I support them both unless and until they prove unworthy.

I’m a refugee from another message board with numerous “experts” and hair trigger critics. I’m hoping there are more old fashioned Cat fans on here with less ego and more positivity.

Bear Down.

Glad to hear it, because there were A-holes on the other site who meant it. Couldn’t stand a positive, supportive POV.

Welcome to the board BetaCat. Most of us have been diehard fans for 30+ years. The thing I love the most about this board is the cool collective vibe. If you love drama and overreaction you might want to look elsewhere. We barely flinched when Miller was fired. The search for our new coach was like a walk through the park. The recruiting misses were nothing but positivity. All joking aside you found the best best board. Welcome!

It is a great board, even supportive with personal stuff, nice community. Never once on the other boards did I care if I actually met anyone, I am hoping to meet some of these guys some day at an MTE or a regular game.

Miller did do a great job here and that paragraph about recruiting is what worries us all except our President of the university. He had to have his unproven talent leading our marquee program

Wasn’t this reported a couple weeks ago on this site?

Watching these tune up games... listening to TL's press conferences.....

It seems like TL is going to be really really hard to dislike.

Ultimately we will see what happens when we play decent competition and will see what happens with recruiting once the cloud of sanctions eventually ends... but... so far... he's passing the eye test

Agreed. Can't complain so far.

Maybe Ricky Bobby Robbins got one right. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Sat Nov 13, 2021 8:00 am

According to KenPom we’ve played the #310 and #322 teams in the nation.

We are supposed to look this way against competition this bad.

So maybe let’s wait until we see Tommy Boy coach against a team with a pulse before we start sending bottles of champagne to our illustrious school President for his incredible eye for talent.

wyo-cat · Post by **wyo-cat** » Sat Nov 13, 2021 8:50 am

I’m with ya’ Chi. It’s too early to tell. I’m liking what I see so far.

I think it will translate well to the big time, tho. There will be less nightlight seeking with alley oops and shit against better competition.

I like the way the defense is is guarding the wings and getting run outs.

Come on... no one's saying that... yet

And I realize similar things may have been said about Jedd Lasso.... before the games started... but at least TL can beat beat NAU

The entire basketball world knew Tommy Lloyd would be a solid coach. I get the disdain for Dr. Dipshit, but as far as a guy with no previous head coaching experience goes, Tommy was an easy lay up for Robbins.

These last several posts are pure platinum. This is one of those community-defining moments you can refer to decades later and everyone knows what you're talking about: reconciling a promising new era under a lovable new coach with universal hatred for Dr. Dipshit.

I'm enjoying watching the cats for the first time in a long, long time. To me that matters more than any recruiting banner, W/L, whatever. I had checked out on the SM style basketball a long time ago.

The product on the court also gives me flashes of Lute's squads. The team is having fun and feeding off one another.

Of course..fully recognize that against cupcakes the optics are skewed. A little adversity will show much more. But for now, thanks to coach for saving my fandom.

In the annals of college basketball, Lloyd's head coaching record is matched only by Josh Pastner's "games I've played in" record!!!

Lute and Miller should not be that close. Miller, like Kryzyzewski padded their non conference schedule with patsies. Although K had a reasonable excuse, his conference schedule was pretty brutal.

Really hoping that is a change under Lloyd, especially with the Pac being no where near the power it was back in the Lute days (borderline mid major, thanks Larry!).

My favorite move was when Tommy had to bench Koloko and Tubelis with 3 fouls each... then Michigan soon decides to rest Dickinson... Tommy immediately put them both back in.

Yeah, that was the best Arizona Basketball has looked in a very long time. Hopefully some recruits/prospects start taking notice.
