Larry Farmer (basketball coach)

Larry Farmer is a college men's basketball coach. He was the head coach of the University of California, Los Angeles from 1981 to 1984, guiding them to a 61-23 record. In 1985 Farmer became the head coach for Weber State University and was the successor to Neil McCarthy. Farmer coached Weber for 3 seasons (1985-88) and compiled a record of 34-54 which is the worst in the schools history.

Larry Farmer also coached at Loyola University Chicago from 1998 to 2003. Farmer had a 30-51 record over his first three seasons before finally breaking through in 2001. In that year, Farmer compiled a 17-13 record, 9-7 in the Horizon League. Farmer took the Ramblers to the brink of the NCAA Tournament before losing a heartbreaker to rival University of Illinois Chicago. Farmer did not have much success after that and struggled through his last two seasons with the Ramblers. He is currently an assistant coach at the University of Hawaii under Bob Nash.

He played at UCLA during the early 1970's under legendary coach John Wooden. He was a teammate of Bill Walton during the era when the Bruins won seven consecutive NCAA men's titles.
