NC State Men’s Basketball Coach Kevin Keatts was on the hot seat heading into the ACC Tournament, with his team ranked 10th in the ACC, and an overall record of 17-14.
After winning 5 games in 5 days in the ACC Tournament to win the Wolfpack’s first championship since 1987, and 4 straight games in the NCAA Tournament to advance to the Final Four for the first time since 1983, his seat is cold as ice.
As a result of winning the ACC Tournament, a 2-year extension was triggered, extending his contract through 2030, and his annual compensation was increased by $400,000.
