He served as Pistons interim head coach for 32 games for the 2013–14 Pistons. He later joined the Los Angeles Clippers as a scout in 2016.[4]

Clarkston years (2018–2020)

By May 2020, he had scholarship offers from Toledo, Detroit Mercy and Denver. On May 30, 2020, he received his first high major offer from Michigan.[9] By July 1, he also had offers from Purdue and Nebraska.[10]

Homestead years (2020–2022)

Loyer's mother, Kate, is from Indiana (she had been a student-athlete at McCutcheon High School).[11] [1] Loyer's had relatives in the Fort Wayne area, including many cousins and an aunt who was a volleyball coach at Concordia Lutheran High School. His family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana after his sophomore year and by July 3, 2020, he enrolled at Homestead High School,[12] At Homestead, which had won the 2015 Indiana Class 4A state championship, he would join a team with class of 2021 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball recruit, shooting guard Luke Goode.[12] Loyer switched from shooting guard to point guard when he moved. On November 23, 2020, Loyer committed to Purdue over a field of offers that included Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Utah.[13] [14] At the time, he was rated a three-star recruit and ranked 140th in the National class of 2022.[15] He was later rated a four-star recruit.[16] On December 29, 2020, Loyer posted a Homestead High School single-game scoring record with 50 points against Marion High School.[17] [18] After winning their first 25 games, top-ranked Homestead lost 60–49 in the regional semifinals to Carmel High School, the number 2 ranked team in the state, on March 13, 2021. Loyer had a game high 26 points.[19] He averaged 24.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game during his junior season.[20]

Although Loyer's Homestead team in Indiana was upset in March, he was able to play a full season during his junior year. In Michigan, almost the whole season was lost.

Although Loyer posted 27 points and surpassed former Boilermaker, Caleb Swanigan for the school's single-season scoring record (726 points versus 702 points),[24] [25] it was not enough to overcome Smith's 13-point, 8-rebound, 6-assist, 3-steal, and 2-block effort.[26] On March 16, Loyer was named the Indiana boys' basketball Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior after averaging 26.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.[27] [28] [29] After totalling 803 points in two season in Michigan, he totaled 1360 points in his two years at Homestead to finish with 2,163 points in his high school career.[30] On March 29, Loyer won the national 3-point contest as part of the 2022 High School Slam Dunk and 3-Point Championships over Kyle Filipowski and Austin Montgomery.[31] On April 2, Loyer was runner up for Indiana Mr. Basketball to Smith by a 128–109 vote.[32] On April 4, he was one of 14 players selected to the 2022 Indiana All-Stars boys team, but declined the award.[33]
