SUNDAY, AUGUST 25
Dear Diary:
The good news is my team took fourth place! The bad news is there were only four teams. Still, that’s a Top-10 finish no one can take away from us.
Pete Williams coached his third straight Lute Olson Fantasy Camp championship. Some called him “3 Pete” but I think he’s going for four next year.
We played our two playoff games this morning and then we took team photos and the coaches handed out some individual awards. Former Arizona player and current Houston Rockets assistant Matt Brase read a letter from his grandfather, Lute Olson. Lute’s daughter, Jody Brase was also introduced.

I may or may not be able to feel my legs, but this week was one of the best experiences of my life and I participated it two 5-Star camps in high school (back when I could almost dunk but could jump high enough to be dunked on). It was easy to see why Lute’s former players are successful coaches. They all know their stuff and they are great people.

I might play again next year if I can swing a knee, leg, hip and neck transplant. Seriously, this is the place to be if you are a serious fan of Arizona basketball.
All the former players said they can’t wait till next year and I’ll be there to welcome them.
