Also, the buyout does not fade out, and his contract is automatically extended one year each time we make the NCAA tournament.

Glad we got the buyout up. Didn't understand the decreasing amount in the original contract. Also good to see we are trying to keep Keatts as long as we can. Looks like Vanderbilt, for one, was interested.

Saw that article. He was thrown out as a last ditch effort in the face of the unexpected loss of their coach. I didn't get the impression it was a serious interest, just a writer.
