One of North Carolina’s top targets for its high-profile head coaching vacancy has removed himself from consideration.
Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd, whose nonanswers over the last week had done little to quiet rumors that he was seriously considering the North Carolina vacancy, announced in his Final Four news conference Friday that he will be staying in Tucson. He has agreed to a contract extension with the school that will make him one of the five highest-paid coaches in college basketball, per ESPN.
