Rutgers University Athletics

Dick Lloyd, a Loyal Son of Rutgers, served the university in many capacities for 50 years, including the 23 seasons (1992-2015) in the booth as men's basketball radio analyst. Lloyd arrived "On the Banks" as an assistant men's basketball coach in 1965 under Bill Foster, worked as head coach from 1971-73, and served with the Rutgers University Foundation and Alumni Relations for many years during his tenure.

Lloyd directed the freshmen and was the assistant varsity coach under Foster from 1965-71, before serving as head coach for two seasons. With his brother Bobby, the first All-American in Rutgers history, and Jim Valvano manning the backcourt, he helped the Scarlet Knights to a 22-7 record and a third place finish in the National Invitation Tournament in 1966-67. As head coach, he compiled a 29-22 mark with Dick Vitale and John McFadden as assistant coaches and recruited the freshmen class that would eventually lead the Scarlet Knights to the 1976 Final Four as seniors.

Lloyd transitioned to the University side in July 1973, initially serving as Staff Assistant in the Office of the Secretary for the University, before working as Director of Alumni Relations for 10 years. He joined the Rutgers University Foundation in 1984 as Director of the Annual Fund before serving as Director of Corporate Relations. Lloyd concluded his full-time career with Rutgers as Assistant Vice President of Alumni Relations in 2003, the same year he received the Rutgers Alumni Federation's Meritorious Service Award.
