It wasn't as uncomfortable as my awkward men's room interaction with Rick Majerus in 2005, but the Saint Louis head coach did have some strange comments during his postgame press conference on Wednesday night.
My favorite moment was when Majerus went on (and on and on) about how good Princeton's "number 23" was and how he could not believe he didn't recruit him.
He proceeded to state several times in a row that he was an extremely talented freshman who would most certainly be Ivy League Player of the Year by the time he was a junior and/or senior in his opinion.
I didn't have the heart to break it to him that Kareem Maddox's junior season had just ended.
Majerus then began to circuitously compare "number 23" to Scottie Pippen, changed his mind, reversed his field and returned to his original postulation in the same run on sentence.
He came back to his Ivy Player of the Year postulation at least one more time, but by this point I was called out of the room as the length of Majerus' comments had moved Princeton's interviews from the Chaifetz Arena's media room to outside the Tigers' locker room.
