Former Utah coach Rick Majerus is selected to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame

Majerus, who died in 2012 at age 64, posted a 323-95 record as Utah's coach from 1989-2004. He previously worked at Marquette and Ball State and concluded his career at Saint Louis, posting a total of 517 victories.

He's remembered at Utah for his teams' 12 appearances in the NCAA Tournament, including four trips to the Sweet 16, one to the Elite Eight and one to the title game, a loss to Kentucky.
