Bruce Weber not happy about quick turnaround, early start for Big Ten

Weber is unhappy about the short holiday, brief preparation time and quick turnaround that leads directly into conference play.

"We've asked the Big Ten, and the coaches muttered about it back and forth the whole fall," he said. "We don't believe there should be games (right) after Christmas. But we have a TV contract, and you have the Big Ten Network and they want games. For the kids' sake, for the students' welfare, they need a break."
