A little late with this post but thought I'd post some links on what people wrote about one of the last, great characters of college basketball. Warts and all, most people remember an honest, demanding man who knew basketball more than most.
It's a shame he never got a longer opportunity at Marquette but he certainly left his mark at Ball State, Utah and St. Louis. His '98 Utah team with Michael Doleac and Andre Miller to name a few took out #1 Arizona and UNC before succumbing to Kentucky in the National title game.
Jeff Goodman takes a look at the coach who gave Doc Rivers his nickname.
Andy Katz calls him a basketball treasure.
St. Louis Post Dispatch Bernie Miklasz writes a touching column about the man and his impact on others.
And we'll end with this collection from Deadspin with stories of Rick Majerus, child squatter and serial nudist.
RIP
