Can't wait for the moment when Eric Gordon comes back to Assembly Hall to catch a game, so he and Chester Frazier can finally shake hands properly.

The social media department will be all over this. At least they should be lol

Let your mind wander and envision the scenario where at Hoosier Hysteria, Frazier is introduced as an assistant coach and Eric Gordon comes out of a dimly lit corridor.  They meet at center court glaring at each other and recreate the "bump" although this time Eric is the 'bumpor'.   SSAH would implode.   

Frazier's behavior at that game and his subsequent negative tweets and other public comments about IU have me hoping we don't hire him. 

It wasn't just the incident with EJ. He doesn't deserve to represent Indiana.

He’s an emotionally stunted dork. That’s the downside. But if Coach Double D needs him, then that’s entirely his call. Nothing said  or done can’t be overcome if he is an excellent assistant who leads to winning on the floor.

Maybe it's because I was a young when this happened and don't remember but I dont really care about the incident lol. He was a college player and if he wants to be here now who gives a crap. He's a good coach especially as a recruiter and is singlehandedly the reason multiple  wvu players came from illinois last year

Agree with this. I do remember the incident. I also no longer care about it. Get the best coaches possible.

It’s a basketball game.  People do and say things.  Not the end of the world.

Murphy feels pretty pipe-dreamish, but I’ll be happy as hell to be wrong. 
Side note: for those concerned during the coaching search that IU is too, what was the phrase, holier than thou, to compete with the best, dude had a 2 year show cause after getting caught up in the same deal as Book Richardson. So, hey, there’s that. 

We hired Coach Ya. Those people are just whiners that aren't getting their way.

Can you imagine being judged for the rest of your life for minor things you did or said at 20 years old? Sheesh. Let's get past the tribalism.

I know right? Immaturity at its greatest

Rabby is saying he's hearing Nick Norton a lot. 

Another assistant which has been with CD for some time, so makes sense.

Bring back Tom Crean.

[cybergates]

If the roles were reversed in the Frazier situation, there would be a large group of Indiana fans who celebrate(d) what he did. 

Complete non issue regarding him coaching here IMO

It really isn't that big of a deal. For those that didn't see it or want a refresher, here it is. A big nothing burger.

For some reason, there are people in this world who are just looking for a reason to be outraged. Whether real or imagined.

Enough going on in the world that’s much more important to be upset over 

[IU5355]

Who cares? They were college kids and rivals. 

All about the Frazier train. Hope he comes. 

[ziggyiu]

You all focused on the incident with EJ. 

Frazier continued to trash IU after that--on social, above and beyond negative recruiting, etc.

I'm not trying to change hearts and minds, but you've missed the point.

Frazier never let go of what happened in 2006, and because of his inability to move on a decade and a half later, I'd prefer another coach.

So many continue to comment on this without any knowledge of him and his vitriol for IU throughout the years. 

And if anyone of you were actually privy to the stuff he'd say, you all wouldn't want that person representing your program. 

It's like how all of you would take a offense--some slight, some major--to an obnoxious jerk spouting off about how terrible IU elsewhere in your life.

Expect Jordan Hulls to be retained.

Link it or it's just hearsay.

If DeVries wants him, bring him.  

[rcbowla]

I hate every Purdue player that has ever been. If DDV wanted to bring one on staff I'll welcome them. As soon as they walk away though, I be hating again. 

Too lazy to look for Smokey gif to insert here
