Big respect to Tommy Lloyd for criticizing Long Beach State for firing Dan Monson with no time left on his contract. No severance, no health benefits. He's been there 17 years. They need to do better by him.

Tommy Lloyd on Dan Monson: "That guy gives 17 years to Long Beach State, and they fired him without another year in his contract. He's walking out of this deal in 30 days with no benefits, no severance pay, no nothing. When you sit in my position, what we put our families…

Arizona is going to end Dan Monson's personal Seinfeld episode. But at least the already-canned coach made Tommy Lloyd buy him dinner in Salt Lake City this week. "Tommy owes me. That's the bottom line, OK? ... He's making enough money to buy my pizza." https://t.co/kD1M6myJak
This week in Salt Lake City, Dan Monson has the full support of two coaches he hired more than two decades ago, #Gonzaga's Mark Few & #Arizona's Tommy Lloyd. Few: “I think it's a story worthy of a Disney show or something, man, the way it's playing out." https://t.co/3tqnMUw03r https://t.co/kIEyGzAFWF
Mark Few definitely shitting on Long Beach State. Insinuates that the school is basically pulling all benefits for Monson, which is unusual.
