-Rick Majerus was born on February 17, 1948 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Majerus is something of a fan favorite and cult figure around college basketball, known for being overweight and his quirky, jovial personality. He has had several heart attacks, and suffers from diabetes, but is still sometimes speculated to be in consideration by college programs in need of a coach. He was rumored to be a leading candidate for the Iowa Hawkeyes vacancy in 2007, but issued a statement to deny that. +Rick Majerus was born on February 17, 1948 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
