''He offered me the job a month ago,'' Majerus told the Rocky Mountain News in Tuesday's editions. ''But I can't move [to Denver] right now.''

Majerus, 58, coached the Utes from 1989 until January 2004, when he stepped down for health reasons. He was 323-95 at Utah and led the team to 10 NCAA Tournament appearances.

He now lives in Milwaukee and works as an ESPN college analyst while caring for his mother, Alyce.

Majerus is a longtime friend of Karl's and plans to be in Denver from Sept. 15-Oct. 15 to help him with training camp.

Iverson off block

After coming ever-so-close to trading Allen Iverson before last month's NBA draft, the 76ers and general manager Billy King found offers from other teams for the superstar guard to be insufficient or downright laughable in the weeks since then.

So King has decided to end all the suspense over whether Iverson will be going elsewhere after a 10-year run in Philadelphia, saying Tuesday that he has taken Iverson's name off of the trading block.

Terry finally signs

Jason Terry finally signed his six-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.

Terry was the team's second-leading scorer last season and a big reason why the Mavericks made the NBA Finals for the first time. The Mavericks said he was their No. 1 offseason priority and proved it, agreeing to a deal worth around $50 million about 12 hours after negotiations could begin July 1. Contracts weren't allowed to be signed until July 12, and Terry had been traveling since then.

Dallas also promoted Rolando Blackman to director of basketball development.
