I sure hope we're doing the right thing....  When you look at these records/stats, it puts Coach Weber's performance in a whole different perspective.  I am not convinced the Illini basketball program is on a good path, so maybe it is time to make a change...but I'm also not convinced that Coach Weber was as horrible as some on these comment pages try to portray.

Best of luck, Coach.  And whatever the future holds, Go Illini!!!
