I guess I’m always surprised when the child of a famous actor goes into a profession other than acting. I mean, why not follow in the footsteps of dear old dad? In the case of Bill Murray, perhaps his son, Luke, just didn’t think he was as funny as the old man.

Since Arizona University coach Lute Olson announced his retirement last Thursday, three players notified the school that they are taking their services elsewhere.
Arizona media is reporting that Abdul Gaddy, Solomon Hill and Mike Moser have opted out of committing to the Wildcats.

Man, that was fast!
The Wildcats announced today that assistant coach Russ Pennell will take over as interim coach just 24 hours after Lute Olson announced his retirement.
Associate head coach Mike Dunlap was originally offered the top job, but turned it down. Dunlap will keep his current position along with assistant coach and former Wildcats player Reggie Geary.
“Russ is a veteran assistant coach with a wealth of coaching experience,” Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood said in a statement. “His experience of working in three of the best basketball conferences in the nation will serve us well.”
