Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd's primary pickleball teammate and coach is named Sean Miller; no, not that one.
Justin Spears LAS VEGAS — Tommy Lloyd. Sean Miller. Together, the two are a fierce — and sometimes unstoppable — duo on the court.
“That’s right, one of the guys I play pickleball with is named Sean Miller,” Lloyd told ESPN Tucson earlier this week, leading up to the Pac-12 Tournament. “We play all the time, and out of respect for the other Sean Miller, I call this guy ‘Pickle.’ And Pickle is a pretty good pickleball player, so we have a ton of fun.”
“ made me relevant with U of A people that I never would’ve known,” Miller said. “Tommy is a phenomenal guy, and I absolutely love him. He’s just a well-rounded, kind and genuine person. Anyone who has met , they’re such a great family. Arizona is really lucky to have him.”“He’s developed the ability to see the court better now, where he can be a little bit more aggressive,” Miller said of Lloyd. “His footwork needs improvement, and his backhand could be a little better.
Growing sportHigh-profile professional athletes such as LeBron James, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Draymond Green and Kevin Love, among others, have invested in Major League Pickleball. A friend of Miller told him several years back that “pickleball would become the most popular sport.” “Then once we got down , my wife and I started picking it up again and playing a bunch. It’s a great social outlet. I have a great group of guys I play with, and I play with a couple different groups. One of the groups is pretty good; tennis coaches are fun to play with.”
