How fit is Arizona's Olson?

Lute Olson will return to the Arizona bench next season, the university announced Monday, but that doesn't begin to resolve the questions surrounding the program and its Hall of Fame coach. Clearly, the decision and its timing create a complicated situation for everyone -- not the least of whom are the players, who this week at the Pacific 10 Conference tournament will be trying to secure the program's 24th consecutive NCAA tournament berth. Arizona is 18-13 overall and would seem to need to win at least a game or two at the conference tournament in order to advance. Olson is to resume his duties when the season ends, and the players don't know whether the coach they are playing for, Kevin O'Neill, will return as an assistant next season. How fit is Olson to coach next season at 74? Those who work with Olson notice he gets fatigued a little more than in the past, even though he is devoted to his workouts on Arizona's fitness equipment.
