Majerus was one of a kind. Even though I never rooted for his teams, I always loved to hear him talk...

This is really saddening. Coach Majerus was always so kind to everyone. His players would run through a brick wall for him and he'd do the same for his friends and players. I'll miss Coach Majerus a lot. I'll always be thankful for his guidance and help.

I met Rick once while I was doing some work at the Chaifetz Arena in St Louis. Seemed like a decent guy. Did a lot of great radio here.
I heard a few negative things about him here in St Louis when he first got here and then again a year or so ago. I knew he took a leave of absence from the program but I thought it might have been more of a pr or money thing. I hate that I was wrong on that.
