Olle played for Texas Longhorns men's basketball head coach E. J. "Doc" Stewart and for Texas baseball head coach William J. "Billy" Disch. He received all-Southwest Conference honors in baseball in 1926 and 1927.[1] Olle would go on to coach the Longhorns in basketball for three seasons (1931–34) following the departure of "Mysterious" Fred Walker in 1931.[2] His 1932–33 team finished the season as Southwest Conference champions with a 22–1 overall record and would many decades later receive retroactive recognition as that season's national champion in the Premo-Porretta Power Poll (the team playing as it did in an era preceding the existence of national basketball tournaments or polling).[2][3] After three seasons as head coach, Olle resigned and moved into a position in the UT Athletics Department, first under Texas football head coach and Athletics Director Jack Chevigny, and later under football coach and Athletics Director Dana X. Bible.[4] He was subsequently hired as UT Athletics Director in 1956 and remained in that position until 1962.[5]
