Tommy Lloyd remains mum on UNC basketball opening
Arizona basketball coach Tommy Lloyd reiterates focus is on Final Four.
The Arizona Wildcats are getting set to face off against Michigan in the Final Four with a chance to go to the national championship. As the programs descend on Indianapolis for the weekend, the North Carolina Tar Heels continue to be a big talking point. That's because they are pursuing Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd.
The Wildcats head coach is reportedly the top candidate for the Tar Heels' open position and with the search over a week old, UNC has to wait until Lloyd is eliminated. But that hasn't stopped the media from asking Lloyd about the UNC job. On Thursday in his media session, Lloyd was asked about the UNC job again.
He reiterated that he's focused on coaching Arizona in the Final Four. “I’ve got my full focus on this team. Nothing is distracting me… I’m 100% locked in on Arizona basketball right now… This team deserves my full attention, so that’s what I’m giving them.
