Lute Olson's Leave of Absence

Colin Cowherd has taken on the media for, in some quarters, saying they are entitled to obtain and publish the reason(s) for Lute Olson's leave of absence. I am posting this poll for a follow up piece to get a pulse of the sportswriting community on the subject, and your comments are welcome. If you are willing to have your comments quoted, just drop me an email.

And no, this is not a referendum on Cowherd, just the issue he raised.

Re: Lote Olsen's Leave of Absence

I've heard from multiple reliable sources what the deal is . . . and I'm certainly not going to go into it, here.

I think a reporter has the right to ask the question.

If I know it, believe me . . . I'm certain many others also have access to the information.

But I don't think folks are going to be in any big hurry to break it.

Done, here.

Many, many people in the business know the reason.
Our National guy asked we keep it out, we talked about it, we agreed.

Isn't The AP reporting it?

Edit: It's on Yahoo!: http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news;_ylt=Apf4HmDf2Pnlob8u23jEm4Y5nYcB?slug=ap-arizona-olson&prov=ap&type=lgns

Yeah. We know it's a divorce. That has been reported.
Do you think Lute Olson is the first coach in America to go through a divorce?
Lute Olson is stronger than that. See Bobbi.

 

I have got to get rid of these $%$$%$# bifocals... :-(

 

Well done. Third time's a charm, I suppose.
