Because it's the smart thing to do?  Seeing as how he didn't have anything to do with putting those first 3 teams together?  And because the last 6 years were teams he built?

Oh, I made a mistake.  That was for conference play.  Overall, the last 6 years under weber was the 80th worst 6 year period out of 102 6 year periods.  That's bottom fifth.

It appears to me you are just picking and choosing stats to validate your own opinions, fact is no one speaks poorly of oscar in any coaching circles, He has over 300 wins and way over .500 winning percentage all time.

Wetwillie, just stop it.  It is not arbitrary to look at Webers time with his own players.  His first three seasons he started almost exclusively Bill Self recruits.  Weber was absolutely horrible with his own players.  We won 3 of 6 conference titles before he showed up and once he got his players on campus we missed the tourney 3 out of 6 times and never contended for a conference title.

People get fixated on Weber's title game appearance and just cant see him for what he is, which is an awkward dork who is overmatched as a head coach and should be doing something else with his life.

The bottom line is it is not much fun delluding yourself into thinking Weber is an ok basketball coach.  I tried that for a few years.  It is awful.  You begin living a lie.  Then you lose to Bradley and UIC and the depressing reality hits.  Im not saying you shouldnt cheer for K State, but if you start believing this guy is anything but a schlub you are doing K State a disservice.  You are enabling the destroyer of programs.  Just wait until he starts talking about how hard it is to make the NCAAS and how that is an unrealistic expectation for your program.

Good luck though and Go EMAW (especially in football).

Good morning.  I had to spend some of the morning chewing out a Scout board poster who claimed he was happy Self left. 

Now, getting back to weber, all I'm doing is warning that it will probably be painful once weber gets his own guys in here.  But you guys are funny and tough.  That'll get you through this.

I noticed that weber has already laid the groundwork to blame offensive shortcomings on Martin.  I did some research in case I needed to back up a claim of mine that Wisconsin's offense under Ryan was pretty solid, if boring.  So I was looking at Kenpom's efficiency ratings.  Well one thing lead to another and I also looked at our (Illini) offensive eff ratings under weber and now I looked at KSU's offensive ratings under Martin.

Here's what I found:

Offensive Efficiency Rank  Illini  KSU
2006-2007                      111  71
2007-2008                        83  20
2008-2009                        98  65
2009-2010                        65  13
2010-1011                        33  47
2011-2012                       126  53

Okay, Martin didn't coach the 2006-2007 team.  But I think you get the drift.   The only reason for weber to point out that KSU needs to improve offensively is to have a fall back in case your team performs like a weber-coached offense.  I will say weber's pretty good at covering his shortcomings before hand.

You got to know your enemy, so I hope this helps.  Remember, we Illini fans have been through this and we're on your side.

oscar is gonna rape your men's basketball offense so damn hard.  Just force himself all over it in so many different ways.  Then your men's basketball offense is going to end up sitting in the shower with all its clothes on, water running just holding itself and rocking back and forth.  Might not ever be the same.  oscar'll go right on just a grinnin' and aw-shucksin' and being a multi-millionaire right in your face after it happens too.  And deep down you're going to be so righteously pissed about it, but all you'll do is just lay there and take it.  Take it any which way oscar wants to give it to you, because you can't do a damn thing about it.  "Thank you, oscar. May I have another?" says Dax.  You go on pretending like it's what you want there Daxie.  oscar'll appreciate that.  Might throw up an add in the local paper after he walks off into the sunset, like leaving a quarter on the dresser of some whore after he walks out of the room.

hey illini bad person, take your condescending crap to some other board.  everyone here recognizes that weber is a shittier coach than martin.  some people choose to support him anyways, based on party loyalty and a shared group identity.  they're rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) nazis, but even they don't need your arrogant, stats-for-morons, humble elitist posts trying to educate us about basketball.  so eff off.

not on the weber bandwagon by any means, but remember when looking at those off eff ratings that it's the big 10. first team to break 40 wins.

7 teams in last years top 22 offensive efficiency ratings came from the big 10.
Must be typo if oscar was way shittier than Frank, AND played in a very efficient league.  Surely that cannot be correct, can it?

Unfortunately, it is, Pete.  It kinda sucks, but numbers are numbers and oscar's numbers suck.

Illini fans are just mad.

Demographically/Strategically/Politcially (only major D1 institution in Illinois) . . . they are in the top 3 of college athletics underachievers, right next to their cross state butt buddies . . . MethU

oscar is gonna rape your men's basketball offense so damn hard.  Just force himself all over it in so many different ways.  Then your men's basketball offense is going to end up sitting in the shower with all its clothes on, water running just holding itself and rocking back and forth.  Might not ever be the same.  oscar'll go right on just a grinnin' and aw-shucksin' and being a multi-millionaire right in your face after it happens too.  And deep down you're going to be so righteously pissed about it, but all you'll do is just lay there and take it.  Take it any which way oscar wants to give it to you, because you can't do a damn thing about it.  "Thank you, oscar. May I have another?" says Dax.  You go on pretending like it's what you want there Daxie.  oscar'll appreciate that.  Might throw up an add in the local paper after he walks off into the sunset, like leaving a quarter on the dresser of some whore after he walks out of the room.

I appreciated this narrative

Maybe your dumb ass should study what efficiency ratings are and what they tell you.

meh. if you don't get the joke, you don't get the joke.

oscar Weber is the worst kind of hire for a fantastic, highly knowledgeable, often saracastic, but extremely loyal fan such as myself.

He's done really good things, he's done really bad things . . . thus the choice I have made is to wait and see what happens. 

That said, we don't need  fans of one of college athletics greatest underachivers as determined by the  strategic/demographic/geographic formula spewing forth the same line over and over.

But, if they want to continue to do so . . . fine by me.  Peace/Love/Dope and all that.

You shouldnt support him anyways. Support your school and team, sure, but never let the coach catch a break if it's not deserved. He is paid way too much money for that. Many Illini fans did the same thing. That is why it took 9 yrs to get rid of the guy. It literally took a year of booing him (at our own place mind you) to get the point across. You guys have a couple years  before the wheels fall off and oscar gets his guys in here so at least you have something going for you lol.

jimmy, the school hired the coach.  you can't support the school either.  you have to get rid of the whole cancerous mass, otherwise it will just grow back.

personally, i support the players that weren't recruited by oscar and that means all of them, even though they probably like him a lot.

i forgive them for that and want them to win like no team has won before. i hate every player that is here because of oscar and i hope they fall flat on their face and lose thirty games after our current players are gone.
