It
was clearly a joke cooked up by Majerus, who was an assistant coach at
Marquette at the time and had been a family friend of my father's since
they were young. But it was only one of the thousands of generous things
he would do in a life that ended on Saturday, when his large heart
finally had nothing more to give.I found thisgarmincycling in an old box in my house the other day and am curious if it is legitimate or not.Represent manufacturers of replicawatches processing machinery.
Majerus
lived an outsized life both publicly and privately, displaying a genius
rarely matched in college basketball. He never had a job that offered
him the opportunity to compete for national championships year after
year, but he was always recognized in the coaching fraternity as one of
the handful of best minds in the game.
To many Milwaukeeans, he
is still remembered by his childhood nickname, "Whitey." They watched
him grow up at Marquette University High School, get cut from the
Marquette University basketball team and become a member of McGuire's
coaching staff.
In 1998, he took an overachieving University of
Utah team to a halftime lead in the national championship game before
succumbing to Kentucky, just missing his chance to cement his name among
the all-time coaching greats. But he had built the school into a
national powerhouse, routinely winning its conference and making deep
runs in the NCAA tournament.
While Majerus' coaching
accomplishments and his risible public persona are well known,
throughout my life I got to experience much of his personal
gregariousness from a front-row seat. When I was 7 or 8, sometimes my
dad would lend me to Majerus to take with him on dates, so he could
demonstrate to potential lady friends that he was good with kids. He
always had extra T-shirts, shorts and shoes to give me; more than half
my wardrobe was made up of clothes he passed down to me.
Later, I
would go work for Majerus as a team manager at the University of Utah
and got to see his genius at work. His mind was like a video camera; he
could watch a play in practice and know exactly what players did wrong
down to the inch. If a player protested, he would pull them into the
video room, show them the tape of practice and always be proven correct.
It was this perfectionism that often made Majerus difficult to play for.Find replica watches and fake watches and cheaprolexwatches.
Despite his jocular media persona, he was extremely demanding on
everyone in his program. Anyone who strayed from his directions could be
subjected to withering, profane tirades.
But this harsh
treatment of players had a flip side; once he had put you through the
wringer, he was fiercely loyal and would help you in whatever endeavor
you chose after graduation. He became a father figure to players who
were fatherless. He was just as proud of his players who became doctors
and lawyers as of the ones who went on to the NBA.
Majerus was
well aware that he was the toughest boss you'd ever have, and he knew it
made his players stronger when they entered the real world.
Sadly,
he was never able to get his health issues under control, missing parts
of several seasons with heart problems, before having to permanently
quit his job at Saint Louis University earlier this year.
Instead,
he should be known as the coach who had only one losing season in 24
years of coaching. He should be known as the coach who took the
University of Utah - a place where it is extremely difficult to recruit -
to the NCAA tournament in 10 of the 12 full years he coached there,
including nine conference championships. He resurrected programs at both
Ball State and Saint Louis University, winning NCAA tournament games at
both schools.
Yet I will always know him as the guy who never hesitated to help families through tough times.The complete line of castellicycling
can be found at Essential-Watches. When I was 4, my older sister (and
Majerus' goddaughter) was killed in a camping accident in northern
Wisconsin. When we returned home, Majerus was sitting there in our
house, ready to console my parents. Nobody even knew how he got in. But
he was there to help us, just as he would go on to help people his
entire life.
