After going without a postseason berth the previous eight seasons, the Seahawks have now made back-to-back postseason appearances, reaching the pinnacle in 2015-16 with the school’s fi rst NCAA Tournament berth since the 2005-06 campaign. Along the way, Keatts has steered the Seahawks to back-to-back CAA regular season titles, 22 home victories and put the program back on the map as one of the nation’s top mid-majors. Kevin Keatts came to the Port City after serving three highly-successful seasons on the staff of Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino at Louisville. Keatts, who was introduced as UNCW’s 11th men’s basketball coach on April 1, 2014, was named CAA Coach-of-the-Year in 2014-15 after carrying a team that fi nished last in the CAA in 2013-14 to its sixth regular season conference championship and a fi nal record of 18-14. In 2015-16, the Seahawks were tabbed to fi nish sixth, but Keatts worked his magic again, piloting The Keatts Profi le the team to its fi rst CAA title since 2006 and becoming the fi rst coach in conference history to earn Born July 28, 1972, in Lynchburg, Va.
