RE: Keatts Gets Contract Extention...
We all know that I'm a "hoops guy" like many of you. I'm 100% behind this guy! Are you kidding me? Yes, there's no guarantees BUT in this case...it's a guarantee, trust me. There's a reason that people bet on teams that will win a championship before a year is played. It's players. And in this case, it's players and a system that works. I've never been a big fan of selling out the whole court...not my personal style, but it works if you have the right players. UNCW has never had a coach like this but it was the right time. They play this style and I'm good with it. VCU and Louisville did quite well.
I'll just add this. If you have good ball players, it doesn't matter what the system is really. They will be able to make BB plays even if the pace is slower. And, you are always aware of the team that wants to get that spert going. You want to be able to have guys play instinctive ball...that's what we all grew up playing. Can you gain an advantage and get easy shots? With the added shooters and athleticism to this system plus undoubtedly more court saavy with some, there's no reason to doubt the future with Keatts. You also have to consider that the new shot clock will only add to Keatts system because there's not going to be enough time to milk it. If it's not right, he will fix it or get guys in that can. Plus guys are getting it done in the classroom and seeking him out as well. Heck, we have walkons that are good. He's the freaking man in my book!
