Arizona Basketball released a statement late Monday afternoon on the condition of Hall of Fame head coach Lute Olson.

“Hall of Fame Coach Lute Olson has been hospitalized after experiencing a minor stroke. Coach Olson is not only an icon of our men’s basketball program and all of college basketball, but he is also an embodiment of greatness to Arizona Athletics, the University of Arizona and the Tucson community. Our thoughts are with Coach Olson, his family and loved ones during this time.”

Olson has been inducted into both the Basketball Hall of Fame (2002) and the College Basketball Hall of Fame (2006).
