Lute Olson’s ex-wife can shoot from anywhere
Posted on November 6th, 2008 – 12:39 PMBy Michael Rand
So, um, how’d that marriage work out, Lute? Oh. From the Arizona Daily Star:
The day UA coach Lute Olson announced his retirement, his ex-wife threatened the coach’s doctor by placing a sheet ridden with bullet holes in his office, according to a restraining order granted against Christine Olson on Tuesday.
The order was obtained by Dr. Steven D. Knope and signed by judge Susan Bacal, saying Christine Olson was to have no contact of “any sort” with Knope.
According to court documents, Christine Olson called Knope’s office on three occasions Oct. 23 looking to speak to him, but was told he was busy with patients.
Around 3 p.m., she arrived at the medical office and “behaved in a threatening manner” to staff members, according to the order.
After waiting 20 minutes, she walked past the reception area and to Knope’s office, according to court documents. Upon entering the office, she placed a target practice sheet on his desk chair. It contained 25 bullet holes in the paper head and body, the report said.
Yeah. Probably not the best recruiting choice he ever made. But feel free to round up a list of crazy sports spouses in the comments, if you so please.

To be fair, in Lute’s home state of North Dakota a sheet ridden with bullet holes is the traditional gift for your doctor.
Amateur.
I’m pretty sure Deidra Lane is in a league of her own here.
Don’t laugh, guys. This isn’t funny.
Anna Benson has to be near the top of any list. She only threatened to sleep with every teammate Kris Benson has ever had.
Bitches be crazy.
‘Nuf said.
Clicking on the Deidra Lane link and reading about her prison sentence length just ruined my day.
What’s the deal? Is she upset because her alimony is going to get cut? She thinks it’s a scam- that he really can still coach? What a nutcase!
Does O.J. qualify for this discussion, pretty sure that dude be crazy?
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes comes to mind. If only she’d stuck to the rivers and the lakes she was used to.

Any chick that can simultaneously burn down your house and rap while walking on water has to be a Witch.
AZGG: to be fair, Rison knew well in advance that she was gonna have it her way or nothing at all.
And also to be fair, in Rison’s case, crazy might have begotten crazy. Or something like that.
It’s a slow news day when we’re milking TLC references.
Very true latte. But you’ll appreciate this reminder of Lopes when someone asks you to take an SUV ride on your next spiritual retreat to Honduras.
latte - perhaps Tawny Kitaen is more to your liking?
Do Jon Daly’s 7 wives count as 1 spouse or 7? If they count as 1 add them to the list.
A-Rod’s next wife wears a red string on her wrist to ward off evil Catholics. That’s crazy right?

Christine Olson vs. Sarah Palin in a gun dual @ 20 places turn and fire!!!!!!
