Health issues have, regrettably, dogged the coaching career of Rick Majerus...
And it appears it is going to keep him from continuing his re-building of the St. Louis program.
He is going to remain in California and continue to have his heart issues evaluated...
“Coach Majerus’ health is of the utmost importance, and our thoughts and prayers are with him as he faces his challenges,” said SLU Athletic Director Chris May in a prepared statement. “We are thankful for Rick’s efforts as he succeeded by all accounts as our head men’s basketball coach.
“Rick built this team to be in a position to compete for championships, and we will move forward with that same goal,” May said. “We will continue to invest all of our resources to ensure that this team, under the leadership of interim head coach Jim Crews, is put in the best position possible to succeed.”
“Rick returned our program to national prominence, and Billiken fans everywhere will be forever grateful for his deep commitment to winning, and his even deeper commitment to our student-athletes,” SLU President Lawrence Biondi, S.J. said. “We continue to pray for Rick and his family and friends during this difficult time.”
Here's the early response from campus...
Jim Crews will stay on as interim coach for the season upcoming...
