Kenneth "Doc" Sadler is the head men's basketball coach at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He was hired on August 8, 2006 to take over for former coach Barry Collier, who left to become athletic director at Butler University.
Sadler was previously the coach at the University of Texas at El Paso, where he took over for current University of Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie after previously serving as his assistant coach. At UTEP, he led his team to a 48-18 record and 2 postseason appearances in his 2 seasons at the helm.
At Nebraska, Sadler inherited a team that had been relegated to the middle of the pack in the Big 12 Conference for several seasons, after former coach Danny Nee led the team to four NCAA tournament appearances and an NIT title in the 1990s.
Sadler secured three recruits for the 2007-2008 season during his short tenure as coach - forward Alonzo Edwards from Texas, junior college forward Alex Chapman, and junior college forward and Chinese sensation Shang Ping of Illinois Central College.
Sadler received his undergraduate degree from the University of Arkansas, where he was a student manager under legendary coach Eddie Sutton.
