In April 2007, Rick Majerus was named Head Basketball Coach at Saint Louis University. He had been a popular ESPN basketball analyst since his retirement in 2004. Prior to his 2004 retirement, Rick Majerus was considered one of the top coaches in America and entrenched the University of Utah in college basketball's power structure. The Utes' steady rise in national prominence since Majerus' arrival on The Hill at the start of the 1989-90 season was crystallized by a trip to the 1998 NCAA Final Four, where Utah finished as national runner-up. The Utes had an impressive run winning eight conference championships in nine years and making nine straight postseason appearances. Utah's 10 regular-season conference championships in the last 13 years is the most of any NCAA Division I program in the nation.

Majerus, who never had a losing season, averaged 21 wins a year over the course of his 19-year career. He won 20 games 13 times and 30 games twice. Majerus also guided 11 teams to the NCAA Tournament and four others to the NIT.

Over a five-year stretch from 1994-99 to close out the decade of the '90s, Utah won at least 27 games each year, including a school-record 30 victories in 1997-98. Only 13 times has an NCAA Division I program won at least 25 games in five consecutive seasons. In a nine-year stretch, the Utes claimed eight regular-season league titles, including five consecutive Western Athletic Conference championships outright (including divisional titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999) and a share of three Mountain West Conference titles (2000, 2001, 2003). Majerus guided the Utes to six straight NCAA Tournaments from 1995-2000 and took them back in both 2002 and 2003.

Utah was prominent in the national polls during the Majerus era. The Utes were ranked in the final USA Today/ESPN poll five consecutive years from 1995-1999, including Top 10 finishes in both Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN polls three years running from 1997-1999. In addition, during Majerus' tenure, Utah was ranked in both major polls at various times three of the last four seasons.
