Coaching changes

On February 16, 2017, NC State head coach Mark Gottfried was fired, but the school allowed him to finish out the season.^[1] He finished at NC State with a six-year record of 123–86. On March 17, the school hired UNC Wilmington head coach Kevin Keatts as head coach.^[2]

On September 26, 2017, federal prosecutors in New York announced that the school was under investigation for an alleged "pay for play" involving recruits at Louisville.^[3]^[4] The allegations state that an Adidas executive conspired to pay $100,000 to the family of a top-ranked national recruit to play at Louisville and to represent Adidas when he turned pro.^[3]^[5] The criminal complaint does not name Louisville specifically but appears to involve the recruitment of Brian Bowen, a late, surprise commit to the school.^[6]^[7] On September 27, head coach Rick Pitino and athletic director Tom Jurich were placed on administrative leave.^[8]
