Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 29, 2020 Took my Ash Fork basketball team to his camp one year! We were from small town nowhere and he treated us like we were special! I had 5 kids there while other schools had 30-50 but he didn’t make us feel any less! I loved his philosophy and methodology! Good man! RIP Coach! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back when My Son played Club Ball years ago He got to play on Lutes Court. I felt honored to watch Him play there. I don't think He realized He was playing on a Legends court. He now lives in ILL. I will have to ask Him if He remembers. I do like it was Yesterday. Even as a die Sun Devil fan with 2 Kids Graduated from there I watched every U of A game I could when Lute was there....................BOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
