I don’t have many true friends--guys who would do anything for you--but Rick Majerus was one of them. I can’t believe he’s gone.

Rick Majerus: Midnight coaching bull session at diner with salt & pepper shakers as the X’s & O’s--& double-order of onion rings, of course.

I’ll never forget that Rick Majerus gave me a biography of Roberto Clemente for my 18th birthday. Such a caring person.

Rick Majerus told me he found several blacks in Utah to convince Andre Miller’s mom it wasn’t all white. RIP.

For man obsessed with basketball, Rick Majerus had a vast intellectual curiousity. Interviews often strayed far afield. Fascinating man. RIP

#Majerus said about me at bball camp: “You guys need to work hard, like this guy. He’s horrible at basketball but he works REALLY hard!”

Awful news about Rick Majerus. They don’t make ‘em like that these days. But they didn’t make ‘em like that before, either. One of a kind.

Once heard Rick Majerus speak for an hour on ball screens. Best clinic speech I ever heard. Basketball genius. He will be truly missed. RIP

Very sorry to hear about Coach Majerus. I was one of the lucky ones that learned from his basketball genius. #Majerus

RIP Rick Majerus. Too soon. Rick loved the game. Not just what he got from the game, or who he was in the game. He just loved the game.

Really tough to see Doc Rivers’ emotions while speaking abt Rick Majerus’ death. He’s visibly shaken by loss of the man who named him “Doc.”
