I keep seeing the comments regarding Keatts. And you know what? He’s done a fine job at UNCW.
But…
He’s only in his third year as a head coach. He has one appearance in the NCAA Tournament, and was ousted in the first round. Are we really ready to throw the keys to the castle at someone with that little experience?
If you want to be objective, Miller’s and Marshall’s resumes are FAR superior. Far superior. If we can’t get either one of those guys, then maybe we do go with a guy like Keatts. But the CAA aint the ACC. It’s a one bid league. And three years head coaching experience makea for a lot of learning on the job.
Honestly not trying to knock the guy. He’s done a fine job. But there is a flip side that must be taken into account.
Yes they lost in the first round to Duke 93-85. No shame in that loss. Also consider that Duke went to free throw line a crazy amount in the second half to come back in that game. Duke played from behind the entire time until the last few minutes.
