Florida State Seeks Head Coach After Leonard Hamilton Retirement

Leonard Hamilton, the long-time head coach of Florida State basketball, announced his retirement at the end of the current season, concluding a 23-year tenure with the Seminoles. Under Hamilton, the program achieved significant success, including eight NCAA Tournament appearances and an ACC Championship in 2012. Speculation about his successor has already begun, with Sacramento Kings assistant Luke Loucks emerging as a strong candidate; he is a former player at Florida State and has garnered attention for his coaching potential. Hamilton expressed gratitude for the support he received during his career and pride in the players he coached. His departure adds to a turbulent season for the ACC, which has seen multiple coaching changes. Florida State, currently struggling with a 13-9 record, is now tasked with finding a new leader to revitalize the program.
