I think we all knew this day was coming, but I was really holding out hope that he would be able to go one more season, and try to make another Final Four run.

We'll miss you, Lute.

He was an outstanding coach and I am sure he will be missed by all Arizona fans and college basketball fans. It will be critical that Arizona find a worthy replacement.

If he hadn't already gone to Stanford, I believe Johnny Dawkins would've been the perfect replacement at AZ.

He is an outstanding coach and will never be forgotten. A new era in Arizona basketball will begin.

Johnny Dawkins would have been a great coach to have at Arizona or any other school.

To me Lute has been an embarrassment to Arizona the last two years, glad to see him go. He was a great coach until the last few years.
