In Tucson, things are really not going well. They
lost in their own Holiday tournament, which never happens, and to make
matters worse, tragedy looms as Lute Olson has taken a
leave of absence to be with wife Bobbi, who has ovarian cancer.
It's cliche of college sports that a family environment emanates from a
coach's family, but in Tucson, as in Durham, it is true. The Olson's have
created a very family-oriented program, and Mrs. Olson is a big part of that. If
he's taking time off, the prognosis can't be good. All our best wishes to
the Olsons.
