Doc Sadler led the Southern Miss men’s basketball team to its best season in four years.
As a result, athletic director Jon Gilbert has rewarded him with a one-year contract extension. Now, Sadler’s contract runs through March 31, 2021.
The Golden Eagles recently completed Year 4 under Sadler, finishing 16-17 and beating FIU and Middle Tennessee at last week’s Conference USA tournament. Southern Miss is set to lose only one member from this season’s roster (D’Angelo Richardson) and is expected to add four scholarship players, bringing the total to 12 (up from nine).
