Bruce Weber is OUT at Illinois

[Upstate]

and no one is surprised. Will be interesting to see if they pull in a big name coach. Weber should end up in a good spot. Whoever comes in should put on the full court press for Jabari Parker

Birds are chirping Shaka Smart will be tapped... (OT, but anyone know if he's related to Keith Smart?? I hope not.)

Funny this coaching business... makes one appreciate JB and his unbelievable consistency in 20+ win seasons...

Weber went from hotsauce coach extrordinaire with #1 team in nation and NCAA champ. game to a middling/mediocre program that loses bad games in 6 short years...

Couple that with the trainwreck years both Dixon & J.Wright are having this year and mad props to HOFCJB...

I don't think Weber's gonna land anything better than a mediocre mid-major job. The guy inherited a loaded team and went on a great run in '05. Other than that, he's proven to be a sub-par recruiter and an average in-game coach who should have been fired 4-5 years ago. He's a nice guy, by all accounts, so he probably built up some good will, but I don't see any way in hell he's going to a BCS-type school.
