In His Defense.

Great article, except for what I feel was unfairly associating Keith with the academic misconduct.

His efforts working through the academic probation and improving his defense are truly commendable. Also, I thought he really kicked his passing up a notch against Yale

How was it unfair?

"many fans are likely to point toward Frazier's errors as the reason for the team's suspension from post-season play this season."

I don't believe the "errors" were Keith's fault. If he had any role in the on-line course -- and I'm not implying that he did -- it was because he took bad advice from an authority figure.

Ok

People will believe anything. I'm much closer to that extremist group that goes by the name 'Keith Frazier is a snitch." it's not a very catchy name, but it's what we believe.

haha

Yeah, the article doesn't touch on it at all, but my perspective is that Keith needs to breakout to put to rest all of the "was he worth it?" talk. We've heard it in the media, Lord knows we've heard it a gazillion times on PF, and I would bet there are even some in the locker room who have at least thought it if not said it (if I'm Nic or Markus I'm wondering about it since this kid cost me my last shot at the tourney). Also, if you are a part of the Hoopmanx "snitch" movement, this kid needs to give you something to show it was worth the pain.

Keith could average 30ppg this season and he still wouldn't have been worth it

I agree; just bad writing. "Hey guys, here's my semi-clickbait headline. Now watch me write half a dozen paragraphs and not even touch on the headline in a cursory manner. Yay journalism!"

It is a local site called centraltrack. What were you expecting?

The fact that Central Track even follows SMU basketball is commendable. They usually review art galleries and fancy cocktail bars.
