On Thursday, Utah men's basketball head coach Rick Majerus drops by ESPN.com's moderated chat room presented by TheMWC.com to take questions on the 2001-2002 season and more.
Considered one of the top coaches in America, Rick Majerus has entrenched the University of Utah in college basketball's power structure. The Utes' steady rise in national prominence since Majerus' arrival on the "Hill" at the start of the 1989-90 season was crystallized by a trip to the 1998 NCAA Final Four, where Utah finished as the national runner-up.
Since then, the Utes have continued an impressive string of seven consecutive conference championships and seven straight postseason appearances.
In 17 seasons at Marquette, Ball State and Utah, Majerus has posted an impressive 361-125 career record. His career winning percentage of .743 is the fourth-highest among active Division I coaches and ranks 15th all-time, tied with Jim Boeheim of Syracuse. Among active coaches, only Jerry Tarkanian (Fresno State), John Kreese (College of Charleston) and Roy Williams (Kansas) have better winning percentages. By notching his 350th career victory with a 56-49 win at Brigham Young on Jan. 15, 2000, Majerus became one of just nine coaches all-time to reach the 350 wins plateau in 16 seasons, only four coaches have won 350 games in fewer seasons than Majerus.
Majerus won't be stopping by until 3:45 p.m. MST on Thursday but feel free to leave your questions now and we will save them for his arrival.
