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.

 

 

i remembered it being worse.  I kinda feel bad talking about this for so many years, EG didn't even look annoyed.

Who cares? They were college kids and rivals. 

All about the Frazier train. Hope he comes. 

Yep,  IU won.

Lol, I hear ya. For a few years the story kind of took on a life of it’s own. At one point you could have said Frazier shanked him and people would have believed it.

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 

Robbie Hummel submits his application.  :)

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 an offense--some slight, some major--to an obnoxious jerk spouting off about how terrible IU elsewhere in your life. 

Can you enlighten the rest of us what we aren’t privy to and what years these unforgivable offenses occurred?

I remember that game and what happened. It was a punk move from Frazer at the time and it was appropriate that a Gordon banked three beat them in their house. The Gordon family was also submitted to unnecessary abuse during that game that rises above a rivalry situation. Of course people can change and I don't know anything about what Frazer may have done on social media. But from what I saw at that game, I dont want him anywhere near IU basketball unless he has made amends. I think some on here don't understand how antagonist that situation was. I guess I'm saying don't dismiss the ops opinion without complete knowledge of the situation.

Agreed.  Did we learn from Roshown McLeod?

Chester Frazier is a life long IU hater.  And very open about it.  Pass.

Dude it was a rivalry game and people were talking **** boohoo.  None of the players were doing that.  I am just now realizing how soft people are.  

[Papacap]

I’ll let DeVries determine who is going to be on his staff. I’m sure he understands the history. Not going to lose sleep over this.

Has nothing to do with being soft. I'm not from that generation. I didn't have a problem with the chest bump. I was like ok back it up on the court. And they didn't. But the stuff with the Gordon family was out of line. That has nothing to do with being soft. It has everything to do with sportsmanship and respecting the game. I don't care if Frazer is on the staff or not, it's not my call. Maybe he's a different guy now. Maybe not. I just know that the people and things that I don't like don't change much over the years. It's CDD's call to make and I'm good with whatever.

Yes, discussing the pros and cons in an intellectual conversation of adding a long time IU hater to the IU staff makes somebody soft.

Yeesh.

Watched a few interviews and looked up some old tweets. I'm seeing where Chester Frazier has just wanted to move past this EG stuff. The only reason he is seemingly not able to move in from it is because no one will let him. He's mentioned a few times over the years that he would "bump" everyone like that and not just EG. Also, states in an interview a few years ago that he has no ill will towards EG. He sounds like a working professional who is serious about his work. If he wants to come recruit and work for IU, I think it's awesome.

Dude he was a college student.  Do you realize how many dumb things kids do from the age of 18-25?  I am so sure you were perfect.  This is a new level of immaturity that I thought was only at my daughter’s 12 year old level.

Calling somebody soft, then going to an extreme of "I am so sure you were perfect"...then calling somebody else immature??  Self awareness isn't your strong suit

If he comes to IU as part of the coaching staff I think that would prove he doesn't hate IU as much as being alleged.

[MrBBall]

I’ve heard no Ostrom. No frazier. 

[4iufourever]

I remember that Illinois game. I was in Iraq and had to wake up at 3-4am to watch it. It was one of 2-3 games that I got to watch that year. Great game and an even better finish. I’m glad I missed the season after it fell apart after the Sampson debacle. I’d be ok having Frazier on the new staff

As CDDV fills his staff it will be interesting to see if he keeps former/current staffers at their current level (Norton as Director of Player Development at WVU) vs promoting them into new roles.
