University of Arizona men’s basketball coach Lute Olson accused his estranged wife of filing spurious petitions in their divorce case to “harass” him and tarnish his reputation, court documents filed Friday show.

In one recent filing Christine Olson accused him of improperly transferring funds from a joint account, in violation of a court injunction. A hearing on the complaint is scheduled for May 7.

In a response filed today, Lute Olson says he only transferred the funds because, although they specifically belong to him, they were being deposited into the joint account. Christine Olson “has a long history of taking funds from joint accounts,” according to court documents, he charges.

Christine Olson and her attorney, Kathleen McCarthy, have claimed Lute Olson transferred funds from a Charles Schwab account, one of five joint accounts he shares with his wife, to another Schwab account that bears only his name — despite a court order prohibiting such actions.

In today’s response, Lute Olson’s attorney, Leonard Karp, said the two sides had an informal agreement that Olson’s Nike shoe contract and the funds from the Olson Family Limited Partnership would be separated from any joint account.

“The Schwab account... shall be divided by Lute keeping all which came from his Nike payments and the balance will be split between the parties depending on the source of the money going into the account,” Karp wrote to McCarthy in a March 11 e-mail, seeking a confirmation from Christine Olson about an agreement.

It’s unclear if Christine Olson did agree to such terms.

Lute Olson said, through his lawyer, that Christine Olson “knows her pleading will draw considerable media attention,” and said that’s why she’s including “false and misleading statements” in her court filings.

At about the same time the response was being filed Friday morning, the Olsons took their plight to the airwaves, phoning in alternatively to popular radio station KRQQ.

While Lute Olson repeated many of the complaints in his court response, Christine Olson said she still loves Lute and didn’t understand how things had fallen apart.

Karp has asked Pima County Superior Court Judge Sarah Simmons, who is presiding over the case, to reject Christine Olson’s claims.
