On this day where we honor the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and celebrate the beginning of 93.9 The Ticket in Louisville, I didnt expect to be talking about Rick Majerus naked. But hey sometimes thinks pop up (literally) and we have to. From a new SI piece on the Coach….
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 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.”
Now we all knew Majerus was a bit eccentric. Some of you may remember when he saw Ashley Judd at a UT game and commented that now he would not have to go home and watch a movie in his hotel room….that was simply gross. But it still isnt in the ballpark of thinking about Majerus, naked, coaching his players. Say what you want about the abuse Bob Knight, Coach K or Billy Clyde may give the players…..they dont do this. Ricky Majerus…..official harshest coach in college basketball.

Rick, you’re a nasty a** bast**d!
January 21st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Maybe Rick is so fat that you can’t actually see the naughty bits ala Peter from Family Guy?

“It’s great that Ashley’s here tonight. Now I don’t have to stop at the adult bookstore on my way home.”
God bless the sweater.

I bet his hotel room smells like rotten eggs and Baked Beans.

*erp* I just threw up in my mouth a little bit…
January 21st, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I think I just vomited in my mouth a little
January 21st, 2008 at 4:18 pm

Kentucky fans always gets slapped on the wrist for “recruiting” players through myspace. Just look at the UT supporters trying to get Hopson down to UT. They need to get in trouble–I encourage everyone to email the NCAA and report these violations. 3rd comment down on the right.

Observations;
Rick, Utah was perfect for you.
That salt-lake catch of the day got you in your current gastric condition.
UK will be in a BCS game in the next few years.
UK will make the NCAA tournament in the next few years.
The S&P and Nasdaq are aweful, while T&A and Nascar are awesome.
Matt Jones will eventually be up for an ESPN color commentator job, however eventially lose the job to the one and only Kige Ramsey.
Florida will be lost to submersion due to global warming. Doz Gataz, Doz Gataz. Jokim better learn how to swim.
Just ramblin’, i’ll shut up now.

I bet you’d rather see Majerus naked than see what the Vols are going to do to the Cats tomorrow.
January 21st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I really see how this is news? I mean really why do we need to know this about Coach Majerus. Sometimes I think the media gives us a little to much information!
January 21st, 2008 at 5:25 pm
There’s a Billiken joke in here somewhere…
January 21st, 2008 at 5:25 pm
I hate to say it, but #12, I agree that tomorrow night’s game might be as bad as seeing Majerus naked.
January 21st, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Does anyone know if Gillispie is going to do his call-in show today at 6:00?
January 21st, 2008 at 5:37 pm
No #16 We are gonna win tomorrow night. I will be in the stands for the first time this year. I have never witnessed a UK loss in person. GO CATS. CATS-79 VOLS-75

17) Funny, neither have I (at least in basketball; can’t say the same for football, but still go)
January 21st, 2008 at 5:44 pm

January 21st, 2008 at 5:58 pm
All I can think of is Big Fat B*st*rd from Austin Powers.
January 21st, 2008 at 5:59 pm

January 21st, 2008 at 6:00 pm

That’s an excellent article by SI.com.
My favorite Rick Majerus quote?
re: Pitino’s claim that UK were the underdogs in the National Championship game:
“If we’re getting in a sumo ring, he and I, then he’s the underdog. I’ll crush him. But on the court, we’re in trouble.”

meant to say “NOW that takes some balls (pun intended)!!!”
#26. You sure about your data there? If my memory serves me correctly(and I’m at least 50-60 years away from the onset of alzheimer’s), we beat Utah in the 1998 championship game. Unless Majerus is the NCAA’s equivalent of Nostradamus (and that may be possible considering Rick is just a grade below Chuck Norris in most categories), I can’t see him making that comment in 1996.

That is beyond the relms of belief. That would have to be a torture tactic to make a person talk. Tell us what you know or Rick here will get nacked in front of you and show you the correct way to defend someone man to man.
