After the Matt Painter mess fatigued us all the next Big Ten coaching carousel rumor mill to spin so rapidly it gave us vertigo (too many metaphors concentrated in one place!) was Illini coach Bruce Weber going to Oklahoma.
There was a whole series of tweets and leaks saying there was mutual interest- not true. Don’t you love this time of year in college basketball? When the whole industry plays the “mommy, mommy! Look at me I got this first!” routine.
According to Weber, there’s no story there. According to Illini HQ.com an official announcement will come from the school later today regarding Weber staying Champaign.
Illinois Sports Information Department head Kent Brown told the media after this morning’s spring college football practice that the University would release a statement later today indicating Weber is remaining in his current position at UI.”
