UABK Notes Romar

Lorenzo Romar answers questions on his new position during a press conference Thursday, April 20. 

As it turns out, new UA assistant basketball coach Lorenzo Romar is not the highest-paid assistant in the Pac-12. Romar is paid $400,000 by Arizona but Utah elevated the contract of assistant Tommy Connor to $525,000, according to school documents. While Romar was in Spain on the UA exhibition basketball tour, fifth-year senior forward Talbott Denny, a Salpointe Catholic and Lipscomb University grad, did not play. He did, however, participate in his first full practice with the club after a medical examination showed that the ACL he tore a year ago is now ready for competition. Denny’s return will give the UA so much depth it is ridiculous.
