Keatts' seat is warm because he hasn't won any of these games in the past 1.5 years. Last year they played the worst D1 schedule in all of basketball, and despite their record they were penalized for such a weak schedule by being left out of tournament. It's not hot yet because it's year three, but that is the point: no big wins to point to since January '18, losing to your rival and in the post-game PC explaining that effort and attention to detail were lacking...plus also having two players admit that they didn't study the scouting report.

To get through a full cycle, I'd agree, but if he misses the tournament again this year and his marquee win the past two seasons is a buzzer beater at UNCG, he'll enter year four on the hot seat. The year is not over, but they're restless here in Raleigh.

I think he'll be fine if they give him time, but he's had a really bad week. I really can't get over their effort and explanation for what went wrong on Monday.
