Rick Majerus dies at 64

Recently retired St. Louis head coach Rick Majerus has passed away at the age of 64. Majerus racked up 517 wins over his 25-year career with stops at Marquette, Ball State, Utah, and St. Louis.

Majerus originally announced he was taking a leave of absence in late August as he was set to undergo treatment and evaluation for a persistent and serious heart ailment out in California.

That course of action was apparently extended for an indefinite period of time, and the school announced on Nov. 16 that Majerus would not return to coaching at all. Interim head coach Jim Crews, named to the post in August, has continued to lead the team.
