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.
