ESPN's Jeff Goodman was the first to report the move. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports later provided confirmation.
The 44-year-old Keatts spent three seasons as UNC Wilmington's head coach, posting an overall record of 72-28.
He led the Seahawks to the NCAA tournament in each of the past two seasons by twice winning the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season and conference titles.
