Keatts, whose Seahawks were bounced from the 2017 NCAA Tournament yesterday by Virginia, was thought to be a potential candidate for the Indiana job. But North Carolina State moved quickly after the close of UNCW’s season to land their man.
Still, Keatts presumably would have been a fallback for Indiana, who is rumored to be interested in hiring bigger fish, such as Billy Donovan.
