Wow. Sorry to rain on people's parades about Big Rick, but it's not acceptable to treat kids as subhuman like Rick did.
He won games. A lot of them.
Nevertheless, I will not pay tribute to a man who treated other human beings the way he did.

What a wuss.
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
--Albert Einstein
The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

You're right. If I were like you, lived in Seattle and my kids played the violin and piano and/or went to writing competitions, I'd probably call others a wuss for not liking subhuman abuse of 20 year old college basketball players.
Oh, and he was breaking the rules constantly with his length of practices. But he did win and win big.

If your kids played football you would laugh at the tame, wacky shenanigans the basketball team endured.
No I wouldn't. And my kids did and do play football. And, trust me, they've been yelled at by the best of the best.
But no one has ever called them an f'ing cunt, or a disgrace to cripples everywhere.
-after thinking about this further, this is like having a conversation with people about Adolph Rupp in the 1960s and them defending him about his prevailing attitudes about basketball players.
Bottom line is, Majerus has made his bed. Sooner or later you will all come around to agreeing with me on this.

They've never been coached by a former Drill Sergeant. There are 18 year-old kids enduring far worse in Basic.
I don't appreciate your language.

I see what you are saying, and I don't think anyone is thinking of awarding Rick any posthumous humanitarian awards.
But if the kids he treated as sub-human joke about it, I see no problem laughing along with it.

“To me there is no dishonor in being wrong and learning. There is dishonor in willful ignorance and there is dishonor in disrespect.” James Hatch, former Navy Seal and current Yale student.
It is actually funny now. Fairly well adjusted adults regularly joke about some of the things they had to put up with from mildly abusive parents. Red Mormon Ute regularly jokes about the perceived abuse he took from his older brother.

Older brothers are tyrants and I won't be part of talking well of someone who regularly treated his siblings as sub human
