Olson takes aim at Dookie Vitale

East coast bias is one thing. Just plain ignoring the facts is entirely different. Lute called out "Dookie" Vitale this week for not giving Salim his due as the country's best pure shooter, and he had some facts to back his talk up.

"There's a bit of information that Rich (Paige, UA SID) shared with me about (J.J.) Redick being the greatest shooter in the country,'' Olson said. "If he hit 71 consecutive field goals, he'd reach Salim's field goal percentage shooting. If Redick made 53 consecutive three-pointers, he'd tie Salim for three-point field goal percentage."

Interesting enough, Marques Johnson brought up the same point during the UA/ucla telecast, so the message has not been falling on deaf ears.
Frankly, I was quite surprised not to see Vitale race out to Coach K's side and start CPR when K hyperventilated and hit the floor earlier this week.
