“The decision has been made to move in another direction,” Mike Thomas said on March 9, 2012 during his press conference announcing that Bruce Weber would not return for a tenth season at the University of Illinois.

And while we’ve covered the path of the Illini since, we haven’t talked much about Weber and his happenings since, Jarling’s aside. Let’s take a look at what he’s been up to.
Weber would be hired by the Kansas State Wildcats within a month of leaving Illinois, replacing Frank Martin who left for a position at South Carolina.
