Very funny, witty commentary about Majerus and others. Especially like the comments about Boeheim, but when it comes to pickin' on the Hawk, I'll have to draw the line. That kid is a great kid who went through grade school and high school with my son. The Hawk even gets me tickets to games such as tonights matchup with Xavier @ St. Joseph's! Must say, our friend really didn't pick on the Hawk like he did with the other coaches. Every game now is magnified and becomes even more important to win. LET'S GO BONAS!!!!!

A*HOLE COACH DIGEST: Special Rick Majerus Edition
Drew Magary — There are asshole coaches, and then there is Rick Majerus, the St. Louis head basketball coach, who is legendary for his humor, his size, his crassness and, of course, for starring in Just The Ten Of Us.
Two years ago, Scott Price of Sports Illustrated wrote a detailed profile of Majerus that was filled with some pretty outlandish shit, including the following gems:
If they had spoken to any of his former Utes, Majerus's new players might know that he regularly called his players a vile word for the female sexual organ. That he lambasted stars and backups alike and wasn't averse to poking them in their chests. That he once brought Van Horn to tears after catching him looking at his stats after a loss to archrival Brigham Young. That during the 2001-02 season Majerus reportedly called Lance Allred, a backup center who was 75% deaf, "a disgrace to cripples" who had "weaseled [his] way through life using [his poor] hearing as an excuse."…
During a game in 1999 Majerus gathered his team around him during a timeout and zeroed in on struggling center Nate Althoff. "You've got none of these," Majerus growled, and then reached over and lightly backhanded Althoff's groin. "You've got no nuts!"…
"The first time, [ Utah was] recruiting me, and after the game I went down to the [ Utes'] locker room," says Jeff Johnsen, who signed with Utah in 1996. "His hair's everywhere and his sweater's off and he's just drenched, and he's eating a whole pizza in front of me and he's like, 'You want any?' I grab a piece, and then he starts undressing and gets in the shower and is still talking to me. It was funny. It was weird. How many grown, fat, naked men do you see when you're a high school kid?"…
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."
But there are so many more tales about Majerus out there. Indeed, Price's profile was merely the tip of the iceberg. What follows are two stories. Fables. Myths. Grand urban legends of Majerus' boorishness, if you will. The first one is from an anonymous reader. Craggs reached out to two former Majerus players to confirm this story. Both claimed to have heard it before. Neither witnessed it firsthand. I reached out to Scott Price, who said he had not heard this particular story. It appears to be one of those Majerus stories that gets passed down from one generation of players to another, like a poem from the classics. Only poopier. Its veracity is questionable. Its entertainment value is not.
Everyone has heard stories about Rick Majerus. His propensity for nudity and calling his player's "cunts" has survived long enough that they are both accepted facts of playing for Majerus. A friend of mine used to coach with Majerus. He was always eating, drawing up scouts in front of the team in the nude, making vulgar comments, and treating the managers like shit. Until a few months ago, my friend had been saving the best incident yet.
We were playing pickup and one of Majerus's ex-players was there. My friend called him over and told him to tell me the worst thing he had ever witnessed Majerus do. I could sense by both of their shit-eating grins that they both knew what story I was in for. It went like this:
"Rick was always a jerk to the managers. Every season he went out of his ways to never learn their names. They were only referred to as ‘manager'. One day, Rick was drawing up a scout in our team room about 2 hours before tipoff. Things were going well, considering he was fully dressed and we hadn't been referred to as cunts yet. From the white board he started yelling 'manager, manager, bring a towel over here!'.
"Not knowing what to expect, we sat back eagerly awaiting his next move. What happened next still haunts me to this day. Majerus took the towel, pulled his pants down, and quickly took a dump into the towel, which he was holding under his ass. After he was done he used part of the towel to wipe, wrapped it up, and HANDED IT BACK TO THE MANAGER, and told him to throw it away. The kid looked like a deer in giant Rick Majerus headlights. The whole room was silent. Rick just pulled his pants up and went back to the scout, never once mentioning it or acting like anything out of the ordinary had occurred."
This may seem shocking, impossible, or something made up. I have now heard multiple confirmations of this story as it apparently is openly passed down from generation to generation of Majerus players. Imagine what else he's capable of having done over the past 20 years!

Nordender - in the words of that GREAT Yankee Reggie Jackson "they don't boo a nobody".
I read a write up with RickMa talking about the trip to the Big "O". He said he wasn't so much putting down Olean but, making the trip to and from the Enchanted Mountains. Blah blah blah.An Ya know ya got to kind of agree with the guy. Any team with a long commute to Olean and then playing at the RC in front of the rabid Rielly Rowdys with the probability of coming out a loser and then traveling allllll the way back home could be a little draining. Sure would be nice for them to leave the A10 and the A10 get a quality school to replace them. For Bonas its also a pain in the kester traveling all the way to St Louis for the game.
