Arizona Wildcats Basketball Head Coach Lute Olson announced today that he would be taking a leave of abscence from the team. Olson, 73, said that it was not a health related issue. Here's a portion of his statement:

"For the past 25 years, I have always given 110 percent to the team and this job," Olson said. "In light of this personal matter, I feel it is in the best interest of the team and the University of Arizona to take a leave of absence."

Assistant coach Kevin O'Neill will take over temporarily. No word on when he would return. More details are expected to be released at a press conference later today.

The Wildcats are slated to play an exhibition game against Concordia University today
