RIP Rick Majerus

Didn't see a thread on this. Sad news he was one of my favorites. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back and was an extremely nice man. RIP Rick.

I liked his coaching style...pretty demanding, but ask me how the Utah Utes have been since he left....

The guy got every ounce from his players...RIP Rick...we in Utah have ben mourning your departure for like a decade...we now know its final...you aren't coming back to save them.

Abused the hell out of him when he and Saint Louis played at my school a couple years ago. Very sad to see him pass.

Great coach. RIP.

Was considered for ND but Monk said no.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Damn this is horrible. Great guy and great basketball coach and basketball mind. RIP Rick.

I went to SLU for a year before I transferred to ND. He made basketball relevant again at that school and had the team competing at a high level.

It's a shame.

This hurt my heart, I remember watching a pretty good Utah team as a kid. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

There is not much more I enjoy more in sports then listening to a Genius break down game film to me.... and this guy was a bona fide basketball genius. The world lost a good one. R.I.P.
