Arizona Coach Lute Olson returned to practice Monday night, but his status for resuming full-time duties with the Wildcats following a three-week leave of absence is still not known.

Assistant Coach Kevin O'Neill, who has been serving as acting head coach, confirmed Tuesday morning that Olson attended Monday's practice.

"I'm assuming he'll be back here again [Tuesday]," O'Neill said.

O'Neill said Olson was on the court running things not just observing.

"He was out there, and it was good to see him back," O'Neill said.

Quoted in Tuesday's editions of the Tucson Citizen, Olson told the paper "it's nice to be back" and that he was "going to give it a try" in terms of returning to work.
