Lute Olson calls it a career


I don't post much about sports, even though I'm a huge sports fan. In this case, being a big-time college b-ball guy, I'm compelled to touch on this. University of Arizona Head Basketball Coach, Lute Olson, has stepped down from his position after 25 years at the post. The Wildcats have been a perennial power in the college hoops arena, under Olson's guidance, but suffered their worst season since 1982-1983 (19 Wins - 15 Losses), last year.

The 74 year old, Olson had taken a leave of absence last season, due to personal reasons. Assistant Coach Kevin O'Neill took over the reigns for Olson last season. A replacement has yet to be named.

Coach Olson was a pillar in the scholastic sports world, and I'm sad to see him go. Good luck, Coach.
