Sean Harrington returns to Illinois

Sean Harrington, who played four seasons at Illinois and graduated in 2003, has been hired as the director of basketball operations on Bruce Weber's staff. Harrington replaces longtime UI athletics presence Rod Cardinal, who's moving into a position titled coordinator of special projects in the DIA.

Harrington was part of 99 wins at Illinois, which tied a record at the time. A three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, he also left Elgin as the high school's all-time leading scorer. Harrington said he's in the process of moving and will be in C-U on Friday.
