The University of Illinois has parted ways with head basketball coach Bruce Weber, ESPN Chicago is reporting.
Weber took over the team for the 2003-04 season, after Bill Self left for Kansas. He reached the Sweet Sixteen in his first season as head coach and the national title game in his second, losing to North Carolina. But since then, Illinois' postseason performances have been somewhat disappointing: two first-round exits, two second-round losses, and two years out of the Big Dance entirely.
In 2011, the Illini beat UNLV in the round of 64, but lost to Self's Kansas Jayhawks in the second round.
