This has been quite a week in the A-10! First Dez Wells is booted by Xavier and now Majerus is dealing with health issues again. Gotta figure that both events will cause some re-thinking as far as preseason predictions are concerned.
Goodman thinks Majerus has coached his last game.

Not a good week for Billiken athletics. A week ago a former SLU volleyball player was murdered in St. Louis.

And now officially gone forever.
SLUBillikens.com: Rick Majerus Will Not Return to Saint Louis University
Former Utah and St. Louis coach Rick Majerus has been found dead tonight. Always seemed like a nice guy, and was always very successful as a coach. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
RIP
Sad news

Indeed. Had a mouth of a sailor on the sidelines but he seemed like he was a good guy. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I’m not sure he was a great guy, but he was a hell of a coach.

Really sad that it had to end this way for the Big Billiken. Majerus definitely had Saint Louis back on the map in men’s hoops for the first time since Romar was coach.
Saint Louis U. held their memorial service this past Friday, while the funeral was held the following day in Milwaukee. The current SLU team served as pallbearers for the latter.
Good piece from Dana O’Neil.
