Arizona Wildcats coach Sean Miller wished Lute Olson the best in his recovery from a recent stroke, saying the UA legend is "beloved by his entire basketball family and our great community."ย 

"My personal prayers and best wishes are with you, Coach O," Miller tweeted.

Miller's statement was posted to the UA basketball program's Twitter page on Monday evening, shortly after both Banner University Medical Center and the UA athletic department commented on Olson's stroke and recovery plans. The topic of Olson's health did not come up during Miller's weekly radio show, which aired later Monday night.
