Greg Hansen's Sunday Notebook: Tommy Lloyd speaks positively about the NCAA positioning of teams from the Pac-12, but the conference's resume has its holes. Also: the Cologuard Classic's move to La Paloma, the what-could-have-been regarding UCLA's Jaime...
Greg Hansen The Star's longtime columnist on the Pac-12's NCAA resume, the Cologuard Classic's move to La Paloma next year, the what-could-have-been regarding UCLA's Jaime Jacquez Jr. and connections to Tucson, standout Salpointe softball alumna Acuna giving back to Southern Arizona and more.

What makes ASU’s situation as a forever-on-the-bubble franchise newsworthy is that Pac-12 women’s teams almost surely make up the strongest women’s league in the country. Cardinal athletic director Bernard Muir last week said he does not plan to fire men’s coach Jerrod Haase, whose team went 14-19 and is 59-72 in Pac-12 games across his seven seasons. There is no juice to Haase’s program. Stanford’s attendance this season was 3,518 at 7,500-seat Maples Pavilion.
La Paloma to be 10th course used in Tucson pro golf historyIn its 78 years as part of men’s and women’s pro golf tours, Tucson has never fully planted roots. Moving to La Paloma won’t be an easy conversion. The Jack Nicklaus-designed course, built in 1985, has little parking space. The Conquistadors will attempt to rent parking space at Catalina Foothills High School, nearby business parks and the La Encantada shopping center, among other spots. There’s probably not a golf course on the PGA Tour that doesn’t have parking issues.
But Arizona did not recruit Jaquez, Class of 2018, when he was at Camarillo High School, located in a Los Angeles suburb. Tucson has rarely had a connection to an elite basketball recruit the way it did to Jaquez. Rosborough, who was Lute Olson’s lead assistant at Arizona from 1989-2006, will join Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd — who served as a Gonzaga assistant for 21 years — and UA assistant coach Steve Robinson, who was an assistant coach at Kansas and North Carolina for a combined 29 seasons, as members of the Hall of Fame. Lloyd and Robinson were selected in 2021.
• Liam Lloyd, son of Tommy Lloyd, helped NAU to its riveting run to the Big Sky Conference championship game last week. No surprise there. Baseball coach Andy Lopez’s son, Michael, was captain of Arizona’s 2012 NCAA championship team. Michael Lopez was not a starter, however. Today he is the pitching coach for the New Mexico Lobos. …
