Reported that he passed away today. Terrific coach. He will be missed. Loved watching him coach when SLU played Xavier up here in Cincinnati. RIP

Wow! I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing heart attack unless he had another illness that caused to him to quit.

Damn shame, he stepped away from basketball to focus on his health and gets taken down by a heart attack.

RIP Rick. Basketball will be less interesting without you around.

RIP Rick Majerus. I am sure that JB will have something to say about that when we play his old Utes again in a few weeks.

Give credit to Utah for announcing that they will hang a sweater from the arena rafters.
