Bruce Weber says he won't resign

Bruce Weber - Illinois Fighting Illini

"I love Illinois," Weber said. "I said many times I want to be the coach here. I want to finish my career here. I've done a lot of good things. Some things have happened. You lose Jamar Smith. You lose Chester [Frazier] in the postseason. You lose Jereme Richmond after a year. Sammy [Maniscalco] gets hurt. It hasn't been smooth sailing. I think we still have done a lot of things that are important. We have a solid all-around program.

"Do I want to do better? No doubt. There's no doubt about it. That's my disappointment and frustration. I know I'm a good coach. I've done it for a long time. I've been part of championships. We have done things here at Illinois that no other coaches have done."
