Olson suffered stroke
in the past 12 months
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Lute Olson’s
doctor said Tuesday that the former
Arizona basketball
coach had a stroke
within the last year ■,
and he advised '
him to retire.
The comments
by Dr. Steven
Knope at a news
conference called
by Olson's family
offer the first
explanation for
Olson's sudden retirement last week,
two days after he appeared at the
Wildcats' media day. Olson said at the
time he was energized and looking for
ward to his 25th season with Arizona.
Knope said an MRI confirmed the
stroke in the frontal part of Olson’s
brain, which left the Hall of Earner
with severe depression and impaired
judgment.
WR returning to lineup
following deactivation
PITTSBURGH <AP> The
Pittsburgh Steelers won't further pun
ish wide receiver Santonio Holmes for
being charged last week with a mari
juana-related offense and plan to start
him Monday night in Washington.
Holmes, who led the NFL in yards
per-catch last season, was benched
for the Steelers' 21-14 loss Sunday to
the New York Giants and was not in
uniform. He was allowed to return to
the team after speaking to his team
mates and issuing a public apology on
Monday.
The NFL could punish Holmes once
his case is resolved, but coach Mike
cept Ilya Kovalchuk’s pass near the
Thrashers' blue line.
Knuble's second goal of the game
came on the power play and gave the
Flyers a 4-0 lead 1:02 into the third.'
Philadelphia had an extra man
because Kovalchuk was penalized for

Tomlin said there will be no additional
action taken by the team. Tomlin did
not say if Holmes was fined, although
he likely was.
Holmes, a third-year player out of
Ohio State, was charged with a misde
meanor count of possession of a small
amount of marijuana following a
police stop Thursday. Holmes has a
preliminary hearing before a
Pittsburgh district judge on Nov. 24.
Tomlin doesn’t care if the NFL play
ers’ union is unhappy the Steelers
chose to effectively suspend Holmes
for an issue that is covered by the
NFEs substance abuse policy.
The Steelers never said before the
Giants’ game that Holmes was sus
pended, instead handling the matter
by deactivating him.

said. “There was a couple of good
bounces for them, but at the same time
the game was there for us. After they
got up a few, we just kind of folded the
tent.”
Lupul made it 1-0 with an unassisted
goal 1:20 into the game. His second
goal, and fifth this season, put
Philadelphia up 5-0 just 37 seconds
after Knuble’s third-period goal.
Kari Lehtonen’s only bright moment
in the Atlanta net came with 7:47
remaining when he stopped Richards’
penalty shot.
