Sadler says he has not heard from A&M;
Nebraska basketball coach Doc Sadler said Friday that reports of him being a candidate at Texas A&M; to replace Mark Turgeon are news to him. “I haven't heard from anybody down there,'' he said. “And I don't expect to hear from them. I think a lot of media in San Antonio and Houston and Dallas got my name started in this thing.'' As for Sadler's own team, he downplayed speculation that Husker center Jorge Brian Diaz might not return to Lincoln from a trip home to Puerto Rico.

No contact from A&M; to NU on job
If Texas A&M; is formally pursuing Nebraska’s Doc Sadler for its men’s basketball opening, it hadn’t followed the protocol of contacting NU Athletic Director Tom Osborne or top associate Marc Boehm as of 10 p.m. Thursday, Boehm said. Such contact isn’t required, but is considered a standard courtesy. Schools usually relay preliminary interest to potential candidates through third parties. Sadler was returning to Lincoln on Thursday from a golf trip to Augusta, Ga., with...

Cox then took over as head coach a year later when Sadler joined Billy Gillispie at UTEP. Cox won...

Doc wants NU grad to be strength coach
Final paperwork needs to clear before Nebraska basketball coach Doc Sadler can talk about his new assistant, Jeremy Cox from South Florida. That delay hasn’t kept Sadler from pursuing another hire: a strength and conditioning coach dedicated to men’s hoops. A prime candidate for that newly created position, according to those with knowledge of the situation, is Nebraska native and 1981 NU graduate Tim Wilson, who has spent the past three years at Oregon. Wilson began his career in...

Spencer moves closer to eligibility
Nebraska basketball guard Bo Spencer is closing in on gaining academic eligibility for next season. If the 6-foot-2 senior transfer from LSU succeeds as it appears he is on track to do, NU coach Doc Sadler said Tuesday “I am leaning toward'' giving Spencer the Huskers' one remaining scholarship for 2011-12. Spencer is considered a key cog for the Huskers next season, especially with third-team All-Big 12 point guard Lance Jeter having exhausted his eligibility.

Injured Husker trio showing progress
Premium ContentNews flash! Nebraska men's basketball team gets mildly decent injury news.

Community College averaged 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last season and shot nearly 65 percent from the field.

Sadler receives raise with contract extension
Doc Sadler isn't near as demanding in his boss' office as he is on the basketball court. The fifth-year coach at Nebraska said his deal-making with Athletic Director Tom Osborne regarding a retooled contract involved a short talk, Osborne sliding a contract across his desk, Sadler signing it and then sliding it back. No agent. No attorney. No nothing. “I didn't question anything,” Sadler said Thursday. “Maybe that's not real smart, but that's the trust I have in Coach.

Notes: Sadler salutes departed aide
A year ago, while searching for an assistant coach, Nebraska's Doc Sadler went after someone with Big Ten ties. He got that in Tracy Webster, a former Wisconsin point guard and assistant at Purdue. But after one season, Webster is leaving NU for an assistant's job at Tennessee under Cuonzo Martin, one of his better friends in the coaching profession. “Tracy was great,” Sadler said. “What he did in a short time here is irreplaceable.”
