Rivals: Bruce Weber on the hot seat
July 5, 2010 10:52 AM
10. Bruce Weber, Illinois
Buzz: A lot is expected of Illinois in 2010-11, and that could be a double-edged sword for Weber. The Illini made the 2009 NCAA tournament and were expected to return in 2010; instead, they went to the NIT. Weber is entering his eighth season with the Illini and has been to five NCAA tourneys. But the two "misses" have come in the past three seasons, and if the Illini don't make the field of 68 next season, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him replaced. The flipside: It would be a big surprise if the Illini don't make the field.
