Southern Miss men’s basketball coach Doc Sadler announced Thursday that he is stepping down as the head coach of the program after five seasons.
Sadler said on Thursday that he no longer wants to be in the position as a head coach after 16 total years as one.
“At this time, I do not want to be a head coach,” Sadler said. “I don’t want the responsibility every day that it requires, I don’t want the responsibility of being the person who’s holding 13 players accountable in every area that there is.”
Multiple Nebraska media outlets have reported that Sadler is expected to rejoin the University of Nebraska as an assistant coach for newly hired head coach Fred Hoiberg, who was previously fired as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls in 2018.
