Mike Thomas has been busy since taking over as athletic director at University of Illinois last summer.    
He fired football coach Ron Zook and hired Tim Beckman to replace him.
Thomas is also about to start raising money to renovate the Assembly Hall as some grumbling fans are calling for the firing of men's basketball coach Bruce Weber.
Illinois has lost six of its last seven games but Thomas won't say what he plans to do.
He says he will evaluate Weber at the end of the season and says he expects Illinois to make the NCAA tournament and "make some noise" when they get there.
