Arizona's Lute Olson is stepping down as the school's head basketball coach, a source has told ESPN's Dick Vitale.
Associate head coach Mike Dunlap will take over the head coaching duties on an interim basis.
Arizona spokesperson Tom Duddleston said Thursday morning that Olson hasn't informed the administration that he is resigning. Duddleston said he went to his superiors and was told, "no way," in response to the report.
"We're not making any announcement to that effect," Duddleston said. "At this moment there is nothing going on.'"
Olson did miss Wednesday's practice and a Rotary Luncheon because he was ill. An ESPN.com reporter was at Monday's Arizona practice in Tucson and Olson was coaching on the floor and in good spirits. Calls to Olson and Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood weren't returned Thursday morning.
