Lute Olson, legendary head coach of the University of Arizona, labeled speculation that he has Parkinson’s disease “a vicious, vicious rumor” that is “totally false.”
The 72-year-old coach brought up the subject at his weekly news conference on Tuesday.
“I have gotten some calls about rumors and certain radio stations running some things about me having Parkinson’s, which is a complete lie,” Olson said. “I have physicals like everyone else does. There is absolutely no medical indication of any type of problem.”
