Paul's Note - August 28th, 2020

Posted August 28, 2020

My youngest son’s name is Lute, after our coach who just passed away.  I wanted him to have a strong Tucson name.  One that embodied wisdom, compassion and class. I fell in love with the game of basketball when I was 9 years old due to two people: Coach Lute Olson and Coach Dave Lynch.   Coach Lynch was the girls’ coach at Santa Rita High School and my youth coach.  Coach Olson signed my program when I attended my first University of Arizona basketball game.  I attended one of his basketball camps. I was already a Wildcat fan, but Lute showed us how to love and understand the game.

Paul's Note - August 21st, 2020

One of the things that has been most frustrating during our community conversation about COVID-19 has been that there are some people who refuse to believe that there is a real disease out there that is affecting thousands of their fellow Tucsonans. It’s almost as though they think that if they have a certain set of beliefs, that will protect them from being sick. We’ve seen plenty of tragic cases over these past few months that you’d think would show this isn’t the case, but people want to believe what they want, I guess.
