Arizona Wildcats head coach Sean Miller released this statement about the death of his predecessor Lute Olson on Thursday night.
Since I arrived in Tucson almost 12 years ago, I have been asked hundreds of times, ‘What made Coach Olson so successful?’
Having asked his former players, coaches and people in our community the same question, I came to a final conclusion: He had no weaknesses as a coach.
He was a tremendous teacher of the game—he loved the practice environment.
He was a relentless recruiter, often being the last coach to leave a high school gym on a hot summer night in Las Vegas.
