The inevitable happened Friday morning when Bruce Weber was let go as the head coach of the Illinois Fighting Illini. If the Illini are selected to a postseason tournament in the coming days, such as the NIT, they will be under the guidance of a new coach for the first time in nine seasons.
Who will the Illini turn to moving forward? Speculation is already running wild.
Bruce Weber out at Illinois. Names I am hearing include Frank Martin (K-State), Shaka Smart, Anthony Grant (Alabama), Brad Stevens
