Kansas State athletic director Laird Veatch gave Bruce Weber a vote of confidence on Monday.
In case there was any remaining question about Weber’s future as K-State’s basketball coach, Veatch erased all doubt by telling the Manhattan Mercury he will return for his sixth season.
“We took a step forward this year and we look forward to making another step forward next year,” Veatch told the newspaper.
Weber guided K-State to a 21-14 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament this season. He was briefly on the hot seat when the team struggled through a 2-8 stretch after a 15-4 start, but the Wildcats closed with victories over TCU, Texas Tech and Baylor to reach the postseason.
