UA must do better than ASU when it comes to building legendary coach's statue

I’ve been critical of the UA for its tardiness in building and putting on display a statue of Lute Olson. But when I got a look at the ASU statue of football coaching icon Frank Kush last week, it became obvious that there is more to it than just building a statue. The Kush monument is almost obscured behind a mesquite tree between Wells Fargo Arena and Sun Devil Stadium. The lettering is sun-bleached. If you’re not looking for it, you’ll miss it. Kush, 88, delivered ASU sports to national prominence in the 1970s. If you’re going to honor a cornerstone of your athletic department, shouldn’t you give it your best shot?
