Weber won 184 games with the Wildcats, with five appearances in the NCAA Tourament, but K-State just finished a third straight losing season after being eliminated from the Big 12 tournament Wednesday with a 73-67 loss to West Virginia. Kansas State ended the season with a six-game losing streak.

Following the loss, Weber reflected on doing things "the right way," comparing his school to others -- including Big 12 rivals Kansas and Oklahoma State -- that were implicated in the FBI's investigation into college basketball recruiting.

"We did it with our guys graduating," Weber said. "... I'm on the NCAA ethics committee. And on the meetings, I was told that they were going to take care of the people in the FBI stuff. So I told somebody, 'I'm going to grow my hair until something happens.' Obviously, it's still growing.

"That's the sad part of our business. Lon Kruger told me the other day, think about all the guys in the FBI thing. They are all in the NCAA tournament except one. So I'm just proud of what I've done."

Kansas State said it would honor the financial terms of the one year remaining for Weber's contract.

"Coach Weber has provided selfless leadership to our basketball program and university for the last decade," 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."

Weber previously coached at Southern Illinois and Illinois; he's among 10 Division I coaches to take three schools to the Sweet 16.
