Thank you, Lute!

Sounded like we were close to signing Cal as our next coach until Kentucky swooped in and signed him instead. Then Cal helped convince Miller to come to the Ol' Pueblo. The fact that Arizona is at the level where either of these truly elite (top 5?) coaches would even give us a sniff, let alone take the job and move to Tucson, is astonishing. The credit goes to one man: Lute Olson.
Thank you, Coach! Your commitment to Arizona (turning down UK twice), running the program the right way, bringing in quality young men, and seemingly giving the Cats a chance every single year to make a deep run in March is what helped make this program what it is today. I believe Miller will also get us multiple FF's, and quite possibly multiple NC's. No way we get Miller (or Cal) without Olson laying the groundwork. His support for Miller from day one has also been a huge positive. We owe this man a lot, from the 4-24 team he inherited.
Thank you, Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!
Go Cats!!
