With Lute Olson on leave for the rest of this season for what he described as "personal issues within my family" along with a pending divorce from his second wife, the University of Arizona announced Tuesday that interim coach Kevin O'Neill eventually will succeed Olson when he chooses to step down. At some point -- depending on whether Olson returns next season at 74 as he has said he intends to -- the coach the players call K.O. will be the new face of Arizona basketball.

I don't know if I like that choice. It seems to me that we are a prime destination for prospects, we should have been able to secure a higher profile coach.
