Illinois almost ran Weber out of town last year for winning only one game in the tournament.
Winning one game in the tournament is a failure in Illinois.
If in the next 10 years, VCU adds 5 more tournament wins to the resume, that probably buys him a slight raise.
If in the next 10 years, Illinois wins 5 more tournament games... well, he doesn't make it to 10 years, he is fired.
They are different situations.
