I realize I just set you up as if I had a punchline coming. Sorry to disappoint. There will be no punchline. Instead, I will share a few anecdotes from an article on Rick Majerus in this week’s issue of Sports Illustrated. In the article it was mentioned several times that Majerus is quite the exhibitionist and that his behavior towards his players isn’t too far off from what you’d see out of Bobby Knight. From the article:
Another player remembers Majerus calling him up to his hotel room on various occasions, and “he’d answer the door in his towel and I’d come in and the towel would fall off and it was like nothing had happened. He’d just be standing there buck naked. One year he had this lower-back injury, and he would have the trainer massage it with the ultrasound. But instead of just lowering his pants a little bit, Majerus would pull his pants down to his ankles and sit in a chair and coach us. Sometimes he’d be like, ‘Guys, bring it in, take a knee.’ We’d come in, and we’re just like, No way this is happening.”
…
Majerus kept telling [former Utah player Michael] Doleac that he needed to keep six inches between himself and his opponent in the post. When Doleac was caught shortly after leaning on his man, the coach erupted. “‘Jesus ****in Christ, Doleac! When a guy catches the ball in the post, you gap him six inches!’” Doleac recalls Majerus yelling. “Then he turns to the guys sitting on the baseline and says, ‘Six f***** inches,’ and he says, ‘the size of the average white d***!’ and pulls it out.”
The imagery is just simply incredible, is it not? Who knew this about Majerus? I had no clue. And frankly, I’m not sure I ever wanted to know that information.

[...] You know, when St. Louis scored an embarrassing 20 points in a loss to George Washington last week, I felt sorry for Rick Majerus. Why, he could be at Iowa instead this year, feasting on burritos to his heart’s content. Instead, yeah: his team scored 20 points in a game. But you know, he’s always seemed like a jolly old feller, so I’m sure he’s doing OK. And as a recent Sports Illustrated article has taught us, (via Larry Brown Sports) he sure is a jolly guy, especially when he’s naked.

That may be the most disgusting thing I’ve heard in quite a while.
Thinking of Majerus naked is really O-fensive to me.
Good thing that Majerus’ belly sticks out further than those six inches.

lol @ that picture.
I can’t believe that all the players took a knee. You would think at some point, some player would man up and go Randy Moss-like on their coach.
As a 2005 grad of The Saint Louis University, I’m glad to have Rick Majerus as a coach. Hell, if any article mentioned former coach Brad Soderberg naked, it would be as we dragged his body through campus on the way to the stake.
those quotes are a reporter’s (wet) dream!
MY EYES!… MY EYES!
Coach Krydookski better hope is DOOK players don’t see this - there will be a mass transfer exodus to Saint Louis!!!!!!!!
