There are positives for new N.C. State basketball coach Kevin Keatts in being associated with Louisville coach Rick Pitino.

But the negatives were on view Tuesday, with Pitino’s Louisville program caught up in another scandal, the latest a federal investigation into bribery and fraud in basketball recruiting.

Keatts, who met the media on Tuesday, declined to answer any questions about Pitino or the FBI investigation, which ensnared 10 schools and led to the arrest of four assistant coaches and an executive for the sneaker company adidas.

Keatts and N.C. State were not implicated in the investigation.
