Lute was born right outside Grand Forks, ND in Mayville and went to Central HS in Grand Forks......

Our local papers take on his situation.....

seems pretty insensitive to call his leave of absence self serving and criticize him for this. obviously we don't know his reasons for this and divorce from what it looks like is not the cause but a result from what ever is going on in his life. in all my years i have never had reason to think anything but respect for lute and personally my thoughts and prayers are with him in this obviously trying time. i don't think it is any of our business to speculate or criticize his decision to take this absence and out of respect for a great coach and from everything i have ever heard a great man we should respect his privacy and give him the dignity of telling us his reason if he ever so chooses
