Glenn Rivers, who played Basketball at Marquette University from 1980 to 1983, played under two coaches -- Hank Raymonds and Rick Majerus. It was Majerus who gave him the nickname "Doc" because Rivers showed up at a summer basketball camp wearing a Julius "Dr. J" Erving T-shirt.
1980-1983
Rivers was given his nickname from then-Marquette assistant coach Rick Majerus. Rivers attended a summer basketball camp wearing "Dr. J" T-shirt. Majerus immediately called him "Doc" and the players at camp followed suit. The name stuck ever since. (the answer was taken from "doc rivers" page on wikipedia)
