Chester Frazier turns down coaching offer, heads overseas to Germany

But Frazier just can't stop playing. The Baltimore native informed Weber that he turned down the offer to work as a coach this fall and plans to play professionally overseas. Frazier is close to signing a contract to play in Germany.

"He has the itch," Weber said. "He's a kid that always loves to play. He just said, 'Coach, I want to get this out of my system.' He did a great job for us this summer, really a bridge between the last group and this group. He was really valuable with the freshmen in helping them get through the summer, showing the intensity and work ethic that we need.
