Lute Olson took a personal leave of absence on November 4th for undisclosed reasons. A source who has spoken to Olson has took us that it is because his son is sick. He also told the source that he is not leaving the team permanently and he will return this season.
Olson has two sons, we are not sure which one is sick or with what illness. Clearly this illness is very serious and Olson should be with his family. We wish the Olson family the best and hope that he makes a full recovery.
