While he led the Cornhuskers to three NIT appearances during his tenure, Sadler’s most successful coaching stint was at UTEP, where he led the Miners to a 27-win season and a spot in the NCAA tournament.
Cyclones head coach Fred Hoiberg is excited about the experience Sadler brings to the program.
“Doc brings a wealth of experience to our staff and is respected in the profession,” Hoiberg said in a release. “His Big 12 coaching experience and extensive recruiting background will help on the road and make him a very valuable member of our staff.”
Sadler will replace T.J. Otzelberger on ISU’s staff after Otzelberger took a position with Washington.
