Who is your coach of the year?

Bruce Weber
This is not a team overloaded with star power, but rather a team that spreads the scoring duties around - four players average in double figures, between 10.4 and 12.4 points per game. Chester Frazier is the consummate pass-first point guard; he has 133 assists and just 100 shot attempts. Illinois is not that good on the boards, but the Illini play excellent defense. Foes are averaging 56.6 points per game and shooting just 39.5 percent from the floor and 28.8 percent from 3-point range. Above all, they play hard, a testament to Weber.
