Coach Thomas Frazier Announced as Talent Scout for 2026 All State Game

Thomas Frazier, a dedicated educator and coach from Kansas City, Missouri, has been appointed as a Talent Scout for the prestigious ASG Texas Boys Basketball event in Dallas, Texas. A native of Paris, Texas, Coach Frazier's journey has been marked by his commitment to guiding young athletes. Since 2023, he has been shaping the future of high school and 8th-grade basketball players in Kansas City while also teaching chemistry and physics at Northeast High School.

Frazier's path is as diverse as it is inspiring. With a bachelor's degree in liberal arts, applied sciences, and kinesiology, he brings a unique blend of academic and athletic expertise to his roles. Beyond basketball, he also coaches girls' flag football, highlighting his versatility and passion for youth sports. His core values of honor, courage, and commitment were forged during his three years of service in the U.S. Navy, experiences that have profoundly influenced his coaching philosophy.

At the heart of Thomas Frazier's new role as a Talent Scout is a mission to level the playing field for young athletes.

As Frazier himself put it, "I love to work with the youth and help guide them to be successful and make the right choices."

By joining the selection committee, Coach Frazier aims to ensure that talent, not geography or financial resources, is the key determinant of opportunity. He is determined to fight the "geography of obscurity," helping kids from small towns and underfunded programs gain the recognition they deserve. His role will also involve building connections with other top coaches in the Texas basketball network, further enriching the sport's community.

In his journey from Paris, Texas, to his current home in Kansas City, Coach Frazier’s passion for mentoring young athletes and his unwavering dedication to making a difference continue to shine. As he takes on this new challenge, his impact on the Texas basketball landscape is bound to be significant, ensuring that the brightest young talents have the platform they need to excel.
