Things Getting Very Ugly for Lute Olson

We're talking divorce, folks. Expensive. Messy. Potentially ugly. Real ugly.

It involves someone who coached the Iowa men's basketball team a million years ago, Lute Olson.  Lute is being accused by his estranged wife, Christine Olson, of moving money from a Charles Schwab account last Dec. 7, a day after he filed for divorce and the same day he asked Arizona for a leave of absence.

A nice subplot is that 73-year--old Lute recently retook control of the Arizona basketball program. He ousted interim coach Kevin O'Neill from his staff altogether in the process, and then acted mighty huffy - yes, Lute acted huffy - during the press conference announcing his official return.

Good old Lute.
