He always was a big guy. Passes away at 64. I used to swim with him at Utah during my undergrad. Was a super nice, funny guy. Defiantly knew his hoops. Coached some good players. Pissed a LOT of people off.:grin: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...s-utah-coach-rick-majerus-dead-at-64/1739971/
I always had respect for him and always seemed to be able to do more with less. Rest in peace, Coach.
There's no doubting that Majerus was a really good basketball mind. I've heard his practices described as a work of art and he truly did do more with less a lot of times. I have actually been surprised by how many people have written some not so glowing things about Rick since his passing. He was tough on a lot of people and had a tendency to be overly profane, but generally when someone passes on, those types of stories tend to get glossed over until a little bit later.
seemed to be really happy and did what he loved. We could all learn something from that approach to life
