Arizon head coach Lute Olson has announced that he will take a leave of absence for the rest of the season. His personal problems turned out to be a troubled marriage as he has filed for divorce. That is news I am glad to hear. So often personal issues involve illness. I hope this tremendous coach and person is back on the bench next year.
Alex Legion announced earlier in the week that he was leaving Kentucky. Now he is having second thoughts. While he is working it out his teammates will take on 15th-ranked Indiana without him. As Pat Reilly put so well, “you’re either in or you’re out.” Choose and let’s get on with it…Coaching sure has changed. Twenty years ago that player would have been gone the minute he opened his mouth….Do you think Adolph Rupp would have kept him in the Bluegrass State? I don’t think so!!!
