Title: Win a championship this season or keep Tommy Lloyd long term?

You can only choose one.

I'm not saying Lloyd would leave after winning it all this year or that he'd stay.

I won't participate in this trolling click bait before the first Final Four in a quarter century.

Maybe next time.

If he's the type to leave, he will leave, whether it's now or in a few years. Gimme the damn natty.

Coach Lloyd loves everything about Arizona. Will he posture and get a raise within the next two weeks?  Yes. Will he bail?  I doubt it.

If the administration is smart, they'll approach the ABOR now, to expedite the process and ensure that we are prepared, when he gets the official offer from the Heels. We don't want another mishandled situation, like Fisch.

I believe he will be here a long time!
I can see him leaving only if Arizona doesn't show him the love and respect he deserves.

The irony in that (to me) is if Lloyd actually did win a title this season?
His chances of staying would go through the roof!
All someone would need to do would be to point at what fellow Final Four program UConn has done within the past 3-4 seasons and Lloyd could do the same at Arizona.

To play within the rules of the game, I would much rather have the continuity of having Lloyd at Arizona for the next 10-15 years.
The projections are that Lloyd would have multiple Final Four contenders within that timeframe and could stumble into another National Championship roster.
