Lute Olson quitting Arizona -- for the second and final time

If Lute suffered a stroke and depression, he has all of my sympathy in battling the effects of both. But you also have to have the self-awareness to realize that if you have doubts about the future, other parties are affected by your actions. He came back like a bull in a china shop, forced out O'Neill, Pastner, etc and then leaves on the eve of the season. He needs to show some consideration for an employer who showed a willingness to bend over backward for him.

 

i can't quit you, lute.

 

Lute's sort of like JoPa and Bowden. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.

 

i hear he's having a helluva time smiling.

 

Are you fucking serious? The dude had a stroke, man.

 

You lost any right to be offended by "getting over" 9/11.

 

i was going more with the depression thing, actually.

 

And by that, Mr. Thought Police, I meant that I don't lose sleep over it seven years later. I don't lose sleep over it. I don't cry about it anymore. The same way I don't hurt when I walk by the photo of my father on the wall. Time heals wounds.

But thanks for telling me what I think.

 

And another thing, asshole. I think I earned the right to get over 9/11 when I returned after about 16 months in Afghanistan.
