Rest in peace Lute Olsen, you were not only the best NCAA coach. YOU were the most respectful coach never cursed once. God broke the mold when he made you coach, you have been missed since you stepped down as coach and now you are stepping up as a angel to watch over our CATS

RIP Lute Olsen. You had such a big impact on the city of Tucson. You gave this small city and UofA an identity that could never be taken away. You altered the future of this university for eternity. I will always remember watching that championship season. Legend forever.

RIP Coach Lute Olsen. I enjoyed battling your UofA teams & I loved seeing you every year when the Bruins came to town to play the Wildcats. I enjoyed our conversations. Give my brothers Sean Rooks & Brian Williams a hug coming thru the gates. You will be missed. #RIPCoachOlsen

Mother of my children went to the University of Arizona, but not an #athlete. My university was rife w/ #basketball rape accusations and #student #cheating. An athlete asked me to help him cheat. No. RIP Lute Olsen. I dated an athlete in HS. Paid more attention to her thoughts.

I remember when I was a senior at Westchester Hjgh in ‘02 one day me and the homies were chilling during lunch and this tall ass old white man walked past us. It was Arizona basketball coach Lute Olsen recruiting Hasan Adams. Coach Olsen was a legend. R.I.P.

RIP Lute Olsen. You were a legend and so kind and generous. One of my greatest honors was getting to work with you and your team during my time at the UofA. #BearDown
