After heart attack scare, Ladner approaches new season with renewed optimism
SUMMARY: Southern Miss basketball coach Jay Ladner, sidelined by a heart attack in February, returns with renewed optimism for the 2024-25 season. His absence, alongside a series of injuries, led the team to lose four of their last five games, ultimately exiting the Sun Belt Conference tournament early. Emphasizing a new perspective, Ladner plans to lean more on his coaching staff and veteran players, including the talented Puerto Rican duo Andre Curbelo and Neftali Alvarez. With a strong roster and upcoming exhibitions, Ladner aims for a more adaptable team approach this season, focusing on health and mental fortitude.
