In April, Kerry Keating was introduced as the head men's basketball coach at Santa Clara University.   Keating came to Santa Clara after serving for four seasons as an assistant coach at UCLA, helping the Bruins to Final Four appearances in 2006 and 2007. At 35, Keating is the youngest head coach in the West Coast Conference.

At UCLA, Keating made a name for himself as one of the top recruiters in the nation as well as one of the most technologically innovative assistant coaches in college basketball.  Rivals.com named him as one of the nation's Top 25 collegiate recruiters.

In 2003, Keating was named the "most high tech" assistant in the nation by Scout.com.  His recruiting efforts helped UCLA earn the nation's No. 4 (Rivals.com) incoming freshman class in 2004 and the No. 13 (Scout.com) recruiting class in 2005.  He was also responsible for signing Kevin Love, the top player in the 2007 class by Hoopscooponline.com.

Keating has also been featured in articles on recruiting and technology in USA Today, Los Angeles Times and The Chronicle of Higher Education, in addition to serving as a frequent clinician on the topic.
