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 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.
