Behind the scenes with Bruce Weber

Bruce Weber is scribbling notes onto a yellow pad of paper.

He is designing the practice plan for the Illinois basketball team's 37th practice session of this season. The detail of the plan, down to the minute and jargon, is military-like.

"It's like a lesson plan. That's the way I look at it," says Weber, whose No. 23 Illini host Wisconsin today (5 p.m., Big Ten Network). "When I was a teacher -- and that was in 1978 -- you try to do the same thing."
