Clarifying Our Lute Olson Story

We broke the story earlier in the season that Lute Olson's son was sick and that was why he had taken a leave of absence. Then last week we found out that he was divorcing his second wife. A number of sites and blogs are now saying that his oldest son has AIDS, therefore Olson will spend the rest of the season with him.

We are sticking with our source that said it is because of his son being sick, not his pending divorce. We still do not know for sure if his son does have AIDS so we do not want to report that it's the reason he is sick.

All we know is that Olson has to be going through a very tough patch in his life and we want to wish him the best. College basketball and the University of Arizona need you Lute, so stay strong and make it through this.
