On body language, bad offense, McCamey...

I'm not sure how much a coach's body language matters to his players. To his team's fan base. To a nation of fans with no dog in the hunt, but who tune in just to watch some hoops.
All I know is, during almost every Illinois game, there'll be a crucial possession or two where the shot clock starts running down and the Illini offense gets stuck in neutral and Bruce Weber clasps his hands behind his head in a bit of body language that screams, "Oh, crud, I can just feel something's going to go wrong here!"
It happened again during a key juncture of No. 20 Illinois' 52-49 loss at Indiana. Maybe the players didn't notice. Maybe the fans in the stands and watching on TV didn't notice. But it sure does seem that the Illini are playing like a team that can't escape that "something's about to go wrong" feeling.
