LAWRENCE, Kan. — Longtime college basketball coach Doc Sadler has been hired as an analyst at Kansas, where he served as the director of basketball operations a decade ago.

The 63-year-old Sadler spent the 2012-13 season as director of basketball operations for Jayhawks coach Bill Self. He also has coached Arkansas, Lamar, Houston, Chicago State, Arkansas-Fort Smith, Texas Tech and Arizona State during a well-traveled 40-plus-year coaching career.
