Lute Olson statement on David Salinas

Lute Olson has released a statement on his investment with Salinas:

"I've known David (Salinas) for a long time and feel horrible for his family. That (his passing) is something that none of his friends could have expected. Yes, I've invested with David, and he's been a friend for a while, but I did not invest money until after I had retired from coaching."

I think Andy Glockner gets it right here:

So if investing with Salinas was supposedly not a big deal (AAU talent was modest), why the need to make Olson's investment timing clear?

I really just want the smoking gun in this story to come soon. If it doesn't, this story may drag on for a long time.
