Cottrill said he’s missed basketball and that he’s been conducting extensive workouts over the past several months.
“It feels great,” Cottrill told the newspaper. “I’ve had some setbacks, but I’ve been on the right path for a good while now. I’m doing right.”
Mountain State coach Bob Bolen says he’s excited to have Cottrill.
“By the time our season starts, he’ll be a top-level player again,” Bolen told the newspaper. “He’s playing at a high level now.”
