Majerus to step down

Utah basketball coach released from hospital

? Utah basketball coach Rick Majerus will resign at the end of the season after his latest health problem put him in the hospital with chest pains.

Majerus, 55, was released from a hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif., Wednesday night. Spokeswoman Janet O’Neill would not release further information about his condition.

Assistant Kerry Rupp will coach the Utes in the interim, though Majerus could return and finish out the season if his health allows. Rupp will guide the team Saturday against BYU.

“He just said he had some health issues,” Rupp said.
