Frank was a fixture of Laker history, you always expect to look at the bench and see him there and in huddles. RIP Coach.

Frank was great with the Lakers and it's long since time he got his due.

Always sad to see a Laker pass away. 70 is much too young. RIP Frank

RIP. Thanks for orchestrating some of the great moments of the 2000s championship era (including the fistbump to Kobe after the 2004 Portland game).

Hey guys

Just heard the news.

Shocked to hear of Frank's passing.

Wondering what the Laker Family will do in his honor during the season?

I hope they have a moment for him during the opener. He was Family.
