Pima College Coach Todd Holthaus: Aztecs “Will Always Be A Diverse Culture”

Pima College women’s basketball Todd Holthaus has been a fixture in Tucson for over 22 years, the last 13 of them as head coach of the Pima women’s basketball program.

He has recruited Southern Arizona annually (six newcomers next season are from this area) affording student-athletes in the community an opportunity to continue their education and blossom in their sport to perhaps landing a scholarship at a four-year institution.
