Basketball Coach

The Resume

    (December 27, 1962- )
    Graduated and played for Oklahoma State
    Head Coach Oral Roberts (1994-1997)
    Head Coach Tulsa (1998-2000)
    Head Coach Illinois (2001-2003)

Why he might be annoying:

    He has that country-bumpkin hillbilly voice and is often teased for it.
    He looks like a cross between John Edwards and Jim Nantz.
    He tends to hop from team to team right when they start to elevate their program.
    He tends to be known as the coach with great talent that can never quite get the job done.
    He is 0-3 in the Elite 8.
    Illinois fans, frustrated by him leaving, created a shirt that says 'BILL(plays with him)SELF,' and mass-produced the shirts.
    His 3 seed Jayhawks lost in the first round to a 14 seed Bucknell, which some say could be the biggest upset in the history of the NCAA Tournament (March 2005).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a player's coach.
    He is known as a juggernaut coach (one that can coach and recruit great talent consistently). It will be a matter of time till one of his teams gets to a Final 4.
    He developed a talented Illinois team, than in a few years to come, would advance to the National Championship Game.
    He tends to get the most of his Freshmen.
    Some people say that he should receive full credit for Illinois' 2005 Title Run, not Bruce Weber, because he recruited them and developed them for their first 2 years.
