From 2001 to 2003, Loyer was an advance scout for the Blazers, then was an assistant coach from 2003 to 2005 under Maurice Cheeks.[5] Loyer then followed Cheeks to the Philadelphia 76ers and was an assistant coach from 2005 to 2009. After Cheeks was fired during the 2008–09 season, Loyer stayed on the staff of interim head coach Tony DiLeo.[8]

In 2009, Loyer joined the staff of New Jersey Nets head coach Lawrence Frank and remained assistant coach to the team until 2011. Loyer served under Avery Johnson in the 2010–11 season.[8]
