Men's Basketball Alumni Weekend
The tribute to Lute Olson a few weeks ago was a memorable program as we honored the everlasting legacy of this iconic father, husband, grandfather, coach, teacher, mentor and leader. Thank you to our 50+ former basketball players, coaches, and managers for traveling to Tucson to be part of this special weekend. Alumni letterwinners from all three decades of the Coach Olson legacy at the University of Arizona came back and enjoyed a practice with Coach Lloyd and the Wildcats and a chance to connect with the outstanding young men currently in our program.
