SALT LAKE CITY -- Coach Rick Majerus will not be going with
the University of Utah basketball team on its 19-day European tour.
The team was scheduled to leave Saturday without Majerus, who
missed all but one game last season due to health problems, The
Salt Lake Tribune reported. Assistant Dick Hunsaker, who will make
the trip, coached the team during Majerus' absence.
Majerus, who has directed the team in recent practices, is still
bothered by a leg injury sustained in an auto accident last month
and is concerned about being far from the medical personnel who are
familiar with his health history. He was injured while riding in a
shuttle van at the Los Angeles airport.
The team will travel to the Canary Islands, France and Spain.
NCAA rules allow Division I basketball teams to make a foreign trip
every fourth year. The Utes' last overseas trip was in 1997.
