Richard Jefferson and Miles Simon hosted the second annual installment of the CATSYS, an award show for University of Arizona student-athletes.
Before the show, the former UA basketball players talked about the new Lute Olson statue, what he meant to them as their coach, and lots of other things.
Here is the video (along with the transcription of their thoughts on Olson):
What do you think about the statue?
Simon: Well deserved. It’s funny, when Greg Byrne called me to say I was getting my jersey retired, the only text that coach Olson sent me was “It’s about time,” and I would say the same thing.
