PHOENIX (AP) -- Former Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle has been named head coach at Grand Canyon University as the Phoenix school begins a four-year transition to NCAA Division I.
Majerle was introduced as coach at a news conference on Monday, saying he is thrilled with the opportunity to coach his hometown university.
Majerle played 14 seasons in the NBA, eight with the Suns. He is a member of the team's Ring of Honor. Majerle was in his fifth season as an assistant coach of the Suns when he left the organization earlier this year after he was passed over for the interim coach position after Alvin Gentry was fired.
At Grand Canyon, Majerle replaces Russ Pennell, who resigned last week.

He must have seen one of those ads on tv that advertise the university on endless loop.

They have just as much commercials as Devry and all those other for profit colleges...I think the difference is that they actually have a sports program.

It's in the ghetto as well. I knew a few people that went there that couldn't leave fast enough. I believe their credits from GCU couldn't be transferred to another school, so they had to start over.
Grand Canyon University fires Dan Majerle as men's basketball coach
PHOENIX — Dan Majerle has been fired as the head coach of the men's basketball team at Grand Canyon University.
Grand Canyon University announced the news in a statement on Thursday afternoon.
“We have made the decision to move in a new direction with our men’s basketball program," said Brian Mueller, president of Grand Canyon University. “We wish Coach Majerle the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
Associated Head Coach Marvin Menzies will serve as the team's interim head coach, effective immediately, GCU said. Assistant Coach Isaac Chew also remains on staff, GCU said.
The Lopes finished the 2019-2020 season 13-7, and 8-8 in the Western Athletic Conference.
Majerle played eight season with the Phoenix Suns and was an assistant coach for the Suns from 2008-2013.
The former Phoenix Suns All-Star was hired to take over the GCU men's basketball program in 2013, leading the Antelopes transition into NCAA division one basketball.
In seven seasons in charge of the program, Majerle guided GCU to a 136-89 record.
Wow, this zombie thread really had me confused. I thought they had just hired him only to fire him, lol. _________________ I'm like a Hadouken, down-right Fierce!
