Kansas State coach Bruce Weber steps down after 10 seasons

Bruce Weber resigned from his position as head coach of the Kansas State Wildcats men's basketball program after 10 seasons on Thursday.

Weber, 65, led Kansas State to the NCAA Tournament five times during his tenure, including a 2018 run to the Elite Eight, but the Wildcats just wrapped up a third consecutive losing season, dropping six straight games to end the year and spoiling a 14-11 start.

Kansas State was eliminated in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday with a 73-67 loss to West Virginia.

"Coach Weber has provided selfless leadership to our basketball program and university for the last decade," Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor said in a statement. "With two conference championships and an Elite Eight run in 2018, our program reached exceptional levels of success under his direction. His development of young men on and off the court, while representing K-State in a first-class manner with the highest level of integrity is unmatched in today's game and something all K-Staters should take great pride in."

Weber previously coached Southern Illinois and Illinois, leading both teams to the Sweet 16.
