I wasn’t expecting to see Kevin Keatts win coach win ACC’s coach of the year.
NC State was picked to finish 11th or 12th in most projections. They finished 9th. So while they exceeded some expectations, they still didn’t shock the world or anything.
What I was expecting to see, however, was Kevin Keatts receiving a few votes.
The Wolfpack wasn’t supposed to be very good this year and that was WITH their senior leader, leading scorer, and most ball-dominant guard, Devon Daniels. What the Pack did without Daniels hasn’t been talked about enough, and it seems as if the panel of coaches and media members have decided to memory-hole the whole situation.
