Larry Brown has reached out to Football staff to see if anybody interested in adding to the bench

Bottom line: Frazier still on SMU's roster, can play, but "he's dealing w/ a situation," Brown said. He won't play Thurs. vs Cincy

Man alive. Hope we don't have to deal with as much drama (off the court) next season as as we have this one.

Andy Cohen has reached out to LB looking for a "Hard Knocks meets Real Housewives" opportunity.

Bravo contract should be sizeable.

If LB has a fault, not that it really is a fault, is that he will stick up for someone to the nth degree. Larry has always had good relationships with his players and will support them as much as he can. I am not surprised that Larry would say what he did.

When I was at SMU our power forward was declared ineligible and a football player came to Coach Prewitt and said, hey I used to play hoops in college before transferring here. Where was that asked Prewitt, UCLA (played under Wooden)? That was our All American tight end Oscar Roan and he played very well down the stretch for us that year.

Maybe Bravo will replace the upcoming Real Housewives of Dallas with Basketball Diaries.

There is stuff going on nobody knows about, this isn't just a complaint about playing time. Might be more truth than some of us thought in the DMN article. Instead of condemning the kid, let things play out and see what happens.

Sometimes it's really clear those who have, say, scout and those who don't.

I was a founding member of the Keith Frazier fan club. Have been since he came on campus. I've had season tickets since Moody renovations, and I often stand behind the band waving a white towel in support of the team. I'm also a high school coach in Dallas. I have first-hand experience with area athletes and coaches. So, what I'm saying is, I don't feel like my opinion is coming out of left field...

Keith has a lot of people giving him bad advice. I, too, have heard from people that Keith has people whispering in his ear about professional basketball, especially since the Michigan game. Sometimes, we can tell ourselves a lie long enough to actually believe it's true. Imagine if outsiders were doing this. If enough people tell you that you're an all-star, you may start believing it. Many people close to Keith have NOT been doing him any favors in that regard. Reminds me of WVU quarterback Major Harris of yester-year. Anyway...

None of this excuses a quitters mentality. As a coach, I can tell you, selfish personalities are a cancer in any locker room. Leaving a team over playing time and/or "starting" status is PATHETIC. It's not how GOOD coaches teach the game, and it's not how GOOD players approach the game. It's especially frustrating when a player like Keith quits on his teammates, who've had his back since the beginning. They're dealing with a postseason ban because of Keith, but he's the one who won't ride it out. It's completely selfish and immature. I can't believe he doesn't realize that, and that the realization isn't eating him up inside.

At the end of the day, I don't wish any ill-will upon him. Honestly, I hope he figures it out and makes something of himself.

In the meantime, I'm not gonna dwell too much longer on who ISN'T here. Tomorrow night, I'll be cheering on the men that suit up against Cincy, as we continue our march towards a regular season American Athletic Conference championship.

Thanks. Fantastic perspective. And spoken like a good coach.
