Arizona basketball coach Lute Olson, who is taking a leave of absence for the entire 2007-08 season, has filed for divorce from his wife of four years. No details of the contents of the court papers are available, although it has been reported that Olson paid the filing fee of $216.
Leonard Karp, Olson's divorce lawyer, told the Arizona Daily Star that the Olsons' "marriage is irrevocably broken and there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation."
The 73-year-old Olson got married in April of 2003. Olson's first wife, Bobbi, died of cancer in 2001.
Last month Olson announced that he was taking a leave of absence, and he and the school apparently plan for him to miss all of this season but return next season.
