For many of us around to watch Hawkeye hoops at the time Lute Olson was THE Iowa coach. In nine seasons compiled a record of 167-91 with five trips to the NCAA, making it to the Final Four once and the Sweet 16. Well-liked around the state, managed to recruit good players to Iowa City, teams always competitive. Good coach.
Much of the fan base was sorry to see him leave for Arizona. But he was happy in Tucson and managed to get even better players, mostly from the Los Angeles area and the West Coast. Made the NCAA Tournament every year except his first in 24 seasons in Tucson, winning the title in 1997.
Congratulations Lute!
