"Majerus has yet to hear from Burke or St. Louis president Rev.Lawrence Biondi. "I understand the school can't say anything," Majerus said. "I didn't represent the school when I made those comments. At the same time, when I took this job, I didn't check my heart at the door. I understand discretion is the better part of valor, but I think I have a responsibility to speak out on something I believe in." You may not agree with him, but Majerus has a right to be heard on important topics that affect our society, just like the rest of us. Rick Majerus is a man for all seasons, much like the martyr St.Thomas More, and feels strongly enough to resign over this if asked."

They don't hire ignoramus fatso coaches to be public spokesmen on moral controversies. It showed bad judgment, bad manners, poor form, and a lack of common sense to throw himself into a public controversy about abortion. It's not a free speech issue. That he and his handlers continue to play this out like a martyr for free speech is extreme bad taste.

Basketball coaches are not hired to be public advocates for abortion. If he feels that strongly about it he should resign and get another job at a non-Catholic university. That he persists in this unrepentant is grotesque.

It is a very weird breed of liberal nutjob that gets upset and worked up enough to vocalize pro-abortionism in Catholic venues. That's usually a flag for some kind of personal issue.

And then there's the questions about a man who coached under Al McGuire and Don Nelson, and took Utah to the Final Four, but somehow finds himself starting over in the Atlantic 10 at 60yrs of age and with a notoriously bad ticker. I'm sure he doesn't come across as a freakshow in an interview or anything...
