Frazier is gone, does it really matter whether he left on his own or was asked to leave. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other instant information sites, has made us a nosey society.

At this point I don't care, why he left, he is gone does no good thinking on it one way or another

Now will we be better as a team without him, I don't know, it depends a lot on how skilled the new point guard is and how well we play defense, which is the hardest part for young players to adjust to.

For the most part with the exception of our BIGS, defense wasn't a factor for our recruits. Most were scorers at the high school level and was recruited for their ability to put the ball in the basket.

Some of the keys to winning not all but some will be Defense, PG play and Tempo.
The PG facilitate the action as so far as tempo, this team looks like it can run, which will be a factor in the win loss column, playing defense and the speed/pace will be other keys, the pre season, non conference schedule will be vital to the young guys adjustment period..

I submit if the PG has a good handled, pass the ball on time, takes and make the shot at a good pace when needed, protect the ball and play defense we will be okay.

I believe Norton will be that guy at some point during the season, son of a coach, a winner in high school, appears to have the handle, a shooter, scorer and a PG/coach mentality.

Hasse is building the team the right way. I expect if he had known he was losing Chad he may have brought in a JUCO to add maturity, but that's a moot point.

At times last season I thought Hasse was out coached, but also knew that was to be expected at times, however in year 3, I expect to see improvement in play and coaching, since in my opinion the team we have is more talented then the team we lost, with the exception being experience and the loss of Frazier.

Good luck Chad, young people make mistakes all the time, take advantage of a second chance and new surrounding.

I believe most here regrets something they did in their youth whether covered or uncovered.
