More Quotes from Lute Olson:
Maybe (the restriction) should be a radius in miles. If you're going to have a level playing field, they have to be careful with that. But I don't want to make it sound like that's the reason we lost the game. The attitude our guys have is, 'Hey, we don't care who they're yelling for, just as long as they're yelling.'

Sitting in his hotel room in his New York City hotel room last Friday a few hours before his team was to play top-ranked Wake Forest, Olson confessed that his decision to write those words wasn't exactly spur-of-the-moment. No, I think you wait for the right opportunity to get that point across, ... That's the perception the Pac-10 always deals with. We want to make sure that we don't fit that description.
