Intent on avoiding the problems from the last coaching search, N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow is moving quickly to find a new basketball coach.
Yow and UNC-Wilmington coach Kevin Keatts met on Friday to discuss the Wolfpack opening.
Keatts, 44, has led UNC-Wilmington to the NCAA tournament in each of the past two seasons and a 72-28 three-year record. The Seahawks had suffered through six straight losing seasons before Keatts was hired in 2014.
Yow hired Mark Gottfried after a protracted search in 2011 and has been intent on making this one more efficient.
