Will it be some up and coming assistant or some low major coach who makes the tourney this year? We all know ILL will not spend money to get someone proven. |

Larry "I'm an alcoholic" Eustachy continues to prove he is a very good coach. Is Illinois a step-up from Southern Miss? |

Based on that photo, he's not getting any younger. Besides, he's been on the NCAA hit list for years dating back to when he won at UNLV and all the alleged recruiting issues during his tenure. |

Probably looking for a "big" job to start at rather than something along the lines of a VCU. I like it. Just pulled it right of my patootie. |

The Board of Trustees basically told Thomas the next time he hires a mens bball or football coach, they better be a minority after several of them voted "no" to his hiring of Tim Beckman for that reason. So look for the next coach to be a minority. |

So look for the next coach to be a minority. If I was Thomas I would tell them to fire him if they don't like his hire but he's picking the best person he can.He's the one who gets fired for bad choices. |

I could see making a play for Danny Manning - has the pedigree, rising assistant, fits the minority qualification. |

Recruiting Chicago is not an advantage for Illinois or any school. Calipari will pay the best players to leave and go to him, and Kansas and the other perennial powers will cherry pick a player or two who is worth and then you are fighting for the scraps while dealing with the recruiting issues that goes with it. Illinois would be better served doing well in other areas and then if there is a great fit go get someone from Chicago. |

I don't know if Weber was going to keep his job before yesterdays game anyways, but it seems pretty clear that he's done now. One thing I found interesting is how athletic many of the Illini are. There were role players throwing down impressive dunks. A new coach will have some pieces to work with. |
