    Are there some allegations about to come out, or is something going on at home?

    They are officially saying it is not "health related," but that could be a bunch of crap. For the past season or two, Lute has been shaking on the sidelines...and it has been widely rumored that Lute has Parkinson's disease. So that may or may not be the case, but it sure sounds fishy to me....

    As a native Tucsonan, and a long time Lute Olson fan, I am so startled that nothing has been said about the condition of our coach and what is happening. I am for privacy, but this is different, we as fans care, and feel that something should be said. I feel that Lute is not coming back, and the interim coach will be the head coach. I do not see any reason for keeping all of us in the dark.

    I am really concerned about this! i mean i have been a wildcats fan for years; let alone a Lute Olson fan ever since he started coaching! i am beginning to be upset and i really hope that this absence is not perminate and that no one will be replacing our beloved coach!
