Well, he took an SIU Saluki program and completely revitalized it, turning the team from 3 consecutive losing seasons to 3 consecutive winning seasons and an NIT berth in 2000. And then he led the team to it's greatest season in school history, a Sweet 16appearance in 2002.
In his second year at Illinois he led them to their first outright conference championship in over 50 years.
He took an Illinois team without a great big man and only lost 1 game in the regular season last year, giving Illinois national recognition and it's best season in school history.
He took an overmatched Illinois team and almost beat a superior North Carolina team in the NCAA Championship game.
He won the conference championship, the conference tournament championship, and coach of the year.
I'm not sure what else you want from the guy....
