Found this at ESPN just now:
Arizona men's basketball coach Lute Olson will take a leave of absence to tend to what he called a personal matter.
Olson's public relations firm released a statement saying the 73-year-old Hall of Fame coach was not facing a health issue.
"For the past 25 years, I have always given 110 percent to the team and this job," Olson said in the statement. "In light of this personal matter, I feel it's in the best interests of the team and university to take a leave of absence.
"It isn't a health scare but rather a personal matter that needs my undivided attention."
There will be a press conference at 3:30. What a strange time to step away! Kevin O'Neill will step in for now.
Here's the link to the rest of the story.
