There has been talks about former University of Illinois point guard, Chester Frazier, coming back to be an assistant. I think he would be a great help with his basketball knowledge and great athletic skills. But there might be some of you out there who disagree, so I am going to try and turn you over.

Chester was a great point guard, and probably the best defender in the Big Ten last year. I think he got screwed over for Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.

Chester has great knowledge for the game. I have seen him play in person and he is just great. In fact, I went to the Fighting Illini basketball camp, and I got to talk to him a lot because he was a coach for my age group, but not mine. He is a very down to earth guy.

He loves to crack a joke every once in a while as well. During the basketball camp, one of the days, he was trying to bounce the ball from half-court, about a couple feet in front of the hoop, and bounce  it in. A seemingly impossible shot. He actually made it. Of course, not on his first attempt, but it was still a great shot.

I also got to sit down and eat lunch with him and Dominique Keller. We talked about Keller's visit to China and all the crazy food down there. It was a great time for me and a couple of the kids I met down there.

Chester was an amazing defender. He definitely should have won the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. No disrespect to Travis Walton , but Frazier is just a flat-out better defender.

I think Chester would be a great assistant coach for the fact that he will be with former teammates as well. Which would be a great match up.

So those of you thought that Chester Frazier would not be a good assistant have hopefully turned around and figured out that the former point guard would be a great fit for the job.
