ESPN.com has a nice article on Lute Olson as he prepares for his 24th season as the Wildcats head coach.

It’s easy to be a fan of the Wildcat basketball team. They are always in contention for the Pac-10 championship and many years they are national championship contenders. But the best thing about being a Wildcat fan is that they run a tight program that reflects the integrity of their head coach.

I’m proud to be a fan. Of the team and the man.
