Reports that Hall of Fame former Arizona basketball coach Lute Olson is ailing set off a flood of well wishes on social media Tuesday evening.
Star columnist Greg Hansen tweeted that Olson “is in the fight of his life.” KVOA reported that Olson is receiving hospice care.
Olson, 85, had a stroke in February 2019 and has not been seen at a UA basketball game since then. Olson also did not attend the Lute Olson Fantasy Camp in August 2019 at the Sporting Chance facility, but a group of former UA basketball players working the camp gathered at his home during one of the evenings they were in town.
