HATTIESBURG - Bill McGillis and Doc Sadler can see the finish line.
The race has taken more than a year — and will last another two to three months — but Southern Miss’ athletic director and men’s basketball coach can finally point to a spot and declare with a high level of certainty the NCAA’s investigation into the school’s hoops program will come to an end.
“Regardless of the outcome, I know the process is going to come to a conclusion,” McGillis said. “And getting that behind us — getting that burden off Doc Sadler’s shoulders — is something I’m very much looking forward to.
