By now, everyone in the SFN community is aware that Kevin Keatts is our new men’s basketball head coach.
Obviously, only time will reveal if Keatts proves a great hire.
But today — without being privy to the details — the optics on this suggest Keatts is a solid hire.
If nothing else, credit Yow with the efficient hiring of one of our three realistic targets — Archie, Wade, Keatts (we were always priced out of Marshall) — within 24 hours of him being available. Moreover, the hire has been universally praised nationally, which is important to shifting the perception of our program towards the positive.
