In Arizona It's All About Lute

You know, for all the stability that Coach Lute Olson's official return from taking the season off was supposed to bring to Arizona, there is an awful lot of stuff that suggests anything but stability. The extended soap opera swirling around Lute Olson took another very public turn.
It all started Friday morning with a call into the JohnJay and Rich Radio Show.

Lute Olson wanted to discuss his divorce from his wife Christine.

He also addressed a complaint, filed by Christine, that he transferred money out of a joint account, the day after he filed for divorce.

Lute says the claim is an attempt by Christine to ruin his reputation.

Christine was listening to the broadcast and called in.
Yes, it has come to this. Both sides are actually attacking each other directly on radio shows -- you can listen here.

A very public divorce involving one of the biggest names in Arizona naturally will get a lot of media attention. Any court filings accusing each other of doing bad things will of course be reported. The divorce has hardly been amicable from the get go, so naturally there are going to be nasty accusations in the filings.

Expect this to continue for some time.
