tom izzo discusses bruce weber firing

Here you have administrators who the pulling the rug under things in the middle of January when you’re 16-6 or 16-7 or whatever it was and you publicly talk about ‘we’ll make decisions at the end of the year’.

I don’t know what you guys think about kids…but they’re a little more fragile today. Not as many two parent homes. Not as good a school systems that are holding kids accountable and demanding. So now we put that on those poor kids? And then we’re surprised that they lose nine out of ten?

I think it was ridiculous the way that it was handled. If I take abuse for that I really don’t care. Because I’m also president of our [National Association of Basketball Coaches] association this isn’t about a friendship, this is about a profession.

In any organization, the only way you can be successful is if top to bottom, from the president to the trainer, are all on the same page.

I feel bad for the Illini Nation…but I feel worse for Bruce because we lost a good soldier…I hope that administration has a good game plan.

If this was HBO, we could really get at it right now.
