Hamilton Submits Resignation Effective At End Of Season.
February 3, 2025
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State University men's basketball head coach Leonard Hamilton announced Monday that he is resigning as head coach effective at the end of the current season. FSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford announced that the University will immediately begin a national search for Hamilton's successor.
Hamilton is the winningest head coach in FSU history and the fifth-winningest head coach in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Seminoles are 13-9 overall this season, including a 4-7 record in ACC play. As head coach at FSU, Hamilton has compiled an overall record of 434-290 including a mark of 196-186 in ACC regular season games. He currently ranks 10th on the NCAA's list of winningest active Division I coaches. Hamilton has led Florida State to 16 postseason appearances and 12 20-win seasons.
"I am deeply thankful for the tremendous support of our fans, alumni, and everyone associated with Florida State throughout my time here," Hamilton said. "I am proud of the quality of the young men that it was my privilege to lead, for their faith in this program and in their belief in the philosophy that we tried to instill in them over the years. I have been blessed beyond words for the opportunity and the experience we've had here.
"My family and I truly love this place, this institution, and its people. I'm very fortunate to be able to have given this job my all with no regrets. Every head coach inherits a legacy and is obligated to leave the job better than they inherited it. I'm very proud of what we have been able to accomplish here over the last 23 seasons. We were a consistent contender, and we created success for our players during their time here. So many of them have gone on to be successful in life. I hope that it will be remembered as my legacy. I look forward to working with our administration during this transition and being as helpful as possible through this process."
"Coach Hamilton's personal character and integrity, and his leadership, set a tremendous standard for all of FSU Athletics," Alford said. "Few people have been as important in building the positive reputation of Seminole Athletics. FSU's stature as one of the leading brands in college sports has been possible, in part, to his leadership of our men's basketball program. He steadily developed a culture of excellence that reflects his personal values: commitment to academic success, competitive success, community service, leadership, and ongoing personal excellence. The success of the men who have been part of our basketball program is proof of that legacy."
"Leonard Hamilton is a beacon of class and integrity whose leadership serves as an indelible example that competitive excellence, academic achievement and community service are attainable at a leading public institution," said FSU President Dr. Richard McCullough. "Coach Hamilton's legacy extends far beyond Tallahassee and college basketball. He is one of the most respected and beloved ambassadors of FSU across the nation and in his profession."
Hamilton has earned three national Coach of the Year honors and was named the conference Coach of the Year five times. He is the only person to earn multiple Coach of the Year honors in both the ACC and the Big East. In 37 seasons as a head coach at Oklahoma State, Miami (Fla.) and FSU, he earned 22 postseason bids, leading his teams to five Sweet 16 appearances, and three conference championships, including FSU's first ACC Tournament title in 2012 and FSU's first regular season ACC title in the 2019-20 season, and has an overall record of 634-500 (.559 winning percentage).
At FSU, Hamilton has developed 19 NBA Draft selections, including nine first-round picks led by No. 4 overall selections Patrick Williams in 2020 and Scottie Barnes in 2021. He has coached 24 All-ACC selections, 13 ACC All-Defensive Team selections, four ACC Sixth Man of the Year recipients and two ACC Defensive Players of the Year.
With an equal focus on academic and athletic achievement, nearly 97 percent of Hamilton's players who completed their eligibility earned their degrees and 20 student-athletes were named to the All-ACC Academic Team. His team produced a program-record 3.16 grade-point average in the spring of 2023 highlighted by 10 individual GPAs of at least 3.0.
"I'm excited for the future of men's basketball at Florida State,"
Alford said. "Thanks to Coach Hamilton's excellent stewardship and leadership, it has been proven that Florida State can be a contender in the ACC and nationally. I'm looking forward to continuing to
build on what he has accomplished here as we identify the next leader of our program."
March 9, 2025
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State has hired former player and two-time NBA champion Luke Loucks as its men's basketball head coach, FSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford announced Sunday.
"I'm excited to announce that Luke Loucks has accepted our offer to become the next head men's basketball coach at Florida State," Alford said. "Luke will bring a unique combination of qualities to our program, and I'm excited to begin the next chapter of our basketball history under his leadership. Throughout basketball at both the professional and collegiate levels, Luke has earned a reputation as one of the rising stars in coaching. Having been a key part of some of the best of what FSU basketball has been as a player, he also brings proven ability to develop players at the highest level of the sport."
"I am thrilled to welcome Luke Loucks back to Florida State University as our next head men's basketball coach," Florida State President Richard McCullough said. "Luke's exceptional coaching ability, profound leadership skills, and extensive basketball knowledge make him the perfect fit to lead our program. As a former Seminole, he understands the values and traditions that define FSU basketball. I am confident that under his guidance, Florida State will continue to achieve great success and uphold the proud legacy of Seminole basketball. Welcome home, Coach Loucks!"
Loucks brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in professional, collegiate and international basketball. He specializes in on-court instruction and player development and most recently served as an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings after spending time on staff with the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns.
"I am incredibly honored and excited for the opportunity to become the head coach for the Florida State men's basketball team," Loucks said. "FSU has a rich basketball tradition, and I look forward to building on the legacy of our previous coaches, especially Coach Hamilton. I'd like to thank the Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors for providing me with a strong coaching foundation. I'm eager to build our coaching staff with the best and brightest basketball coaches in America. They will have characteristics that support and push me while helping me build and develop a competitive team year after year. We will have a standard that we stick to on and off the court that will help build a championship-level culture. I am privileged to have seen firsthand what winning feels like at Florida State, and I am hungry for more."
His time in the NBA included working with perennial All-Stars Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Zach Lavine. During Loucks' time in Golden State, Durant was twice named NBA Finals MVP and was also a first-team All-NBA selection. Curry earned first-team All-NBA honors three times with Loucks on staff, and Green was named NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2017.
"Our staff will recruit and fill our roster with competitive, high-IQ and highly skilled players with professional basketball aspirations," Loucks said. "Our job is to mold those individuals into a cohesive unit that understands our vision and the way we want to play. My wife and three children are thrilled to move back home to Florida, where our families live and community ties are strong. We can't wait to build something special in Tallahassee."
Loucks was part of a staff that led the Warriors to back-to-back NBA championships, winning the 2017 title in five games over the Cleveland Cavaliers and repeating in 2018 with a sweep of the Cavaliers. The Warriors posted a postseason record of 46-14 in his four seasons with the franchise, including a 16-1 mark in the 2017 Playoffs that set the NBA record for the best winning percentage in a single Playoffs.
"I'm very excited about the future of our men's basketball program, and also very pleased that this new era will represent a bridge to a successful past with a path to an even brighter future," Alford said. "I'm also excited that Luke and his wife, Stevi, both intimately understand the experience of being an FSU student-athlete. They understand what a special place this is, and I'm extremely grateful for their desire to want to be part of it again."
Before returning to Tallahassee to lead Florida State, Loucks spent the three previous seasons as an assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings. He was Sacramento's defensive coordinator in 2024-25, helping the Kings to their best defensive showing in 20 seasons. In his first two seasons, he worked with the Kings' offense. The 2022-23 team broke the NBA's single-season offensive efficiency rating with a mark of 119.4 that was a full point better than the previous record.
In 2022-23, his first season with the Kings, the team posted a 48-34 record, the franchise's most wins since 2004-05, and made the Playoffs for the first time since 2005-06. The next year, he helped the Kings produce 46 wins for the franchise's best two-year stretch since the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. He also coached the Nigerian National Team, helping Nigeria defeat Team USA in a pre-Olympics exhibition game and then rank first among all countries with an average of 11.0 steals per game at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Loucks helped lead FSU to the NCAA Tournament in all four of his seasons as a player, the first time in program history the Seminoles advanced to the NCAA Tournament in four consecutive years. He was named to the All-ACC Tournament Team in 2012 after leading Florida State to the program's first ACC Tournament title.
In the ACC Championship Game victory over top-seed and No. 4-ranked North Carolina, Loucks tied the program record for most assists in a game against an ACC opponent with 13. His 136 career games played are No. 4 on FSU's all-time list, and he still ranks 10th in program history with 391 career assists. After his FSU playing career, Loucks played three seasons in Europe and one year in the NBA Development League.
Loucks earned his bachelor's degree in business management from Florida State in 2011 and completed his master's degree in sport management from FSU in 2012. He and his wife, Stevi, have three children. He is married to the former Stevi Steinhauer, who competed in freestyle, butterfly and relay events for FSU from 2006-10. Loucks' sister, Emma, played on the Florida State women's basketball team her freshman year and their father, Lincoln, also attended Florida State.
Luke Loucks Coaching History
"Luke was an exceptional Seminole player who played a key role in leading Florida State to its first ACC Championship. I'm very proud to see him return as head coach of a program he helped elevate to such great heights. Luke and Stevi embody what it means to be a Seminole -- wearing the Garnet and Gold isn't just part of their past; it's part of who they are. They are family, and it's special to have a Florida State basketball coach who truly understands that. I also want to commend Director of Athletics Michael Alford and Deputy Director of Athletics Doug Walker for conducting a thoughtful and thorough search process, resulting in an excellent choice to lead the Florida State program into its next chapter." Leonard Hamilton, Florida State Head Coach 2002-2025
"Luke Loucks is a skilled coach and especially gifted at player development. He helped Kings players reach All-Star and All-NBA honors. He is passionate about FSU, and I know he is prepared for this special opportunity." Monte McNair, Sacramento Kings General Manager
"I am incredibly
thrilled for Luke, as he is incredibly deserving of this opportunity. Florida State is getting an absolute winner as a head coach and a gem of a person. Luke has experience in every facet of the game.
He's fantastic with player development, was part of a championship program in Golden State and was a huge asset to my coaching staff in Sacramento. He is a terrific connector with players and people
and will be a tremendous leader on and off the floor for the Seminoles. I know Luke, his wife Stevi and three beautiful children are excited to return to Tallahassee and will be a wonderful addition
to the Florida State family." Mike Brown, Sacramento Kings Head Coach 2022-2024

McCray V Totals School Record 17 Assists; Loucks Wins Debut as Florida State Defeats Alcorn State 108-76.
By Sam Stevens
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State senior Robert McCray V was credited with a school-record 17 assists, and Luke Loucks won his first game as the Seminoles' head coach in a 108-76 season-opening win for the Seminoles over Alcorn State at the Donal L. Tucker Center. McCray broke the school record for assists in a single game, formerly held by Otto Petty in 1972 and matched by Tony William in 1983. With 12 points to go along with his 17 assists, McCray became the first player to record a double-double in a season-opener since Malik Osborn totaled a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds against Penn on Nov. 10, 2021.
Luke Loucks earned his first victory as Florida State's head coach as he became the eighth Seminole coach to win his first game. Every coach in school history has now won his first game as Florida State's head coach.
McCray also was the first player to record at least 13 assists since Loucks recorded 13 against North Carolina in leading the Seminoles to the first ACC Championship in school history on March 11, 2012.
The Seminoles' 2025 season opened with an alley-oop slam from McCray to Alex Steen. Steen finished the game with 12 points, six rebounds, and tied a game-high with two blocks.
Alcorn State led 15-14 at the 14:22 mark of the first half but a 16-0 Seminole run over the next four minutes gave Florida State a 30-15 with 10:43 remaining. The Seminoles led by at least 13 points, and by 34 with 20 seconds remaining in the second.
The Seminoles went into halftime with a 58-44 lead, fueled by Chauncey Wiggins' 12 first-half points. Wiggins closed his first Florida State game with a career-high 22 points and five rebounds. Wiggins' 22 points are the most scored by a Florida State player in a season opener since PJ Savoy scored 20 on November 10, 2021, against Florida.
Florida State began the second half on a 10-4 run, and a Lajae Jones' 3-point shots extended the Seminoles lead to 66-46 with 18:38 left to go. Jones scored 18 points and recorded a game-high seven rebounds in his first game as a Seminole.
The Seminoles would outscore the Braves 42-30 throughout the rest of the game, finishing the game with 13 made 3-point shots. Florida State's 13 made 3-point shots were the most made in a game since Florida State finished with 13 against Clemson on January 28, 2023.
In his first collegiate regular-season game, freshman Cam Miles recorded 10 points and totaled two assists in nine minutes.
Guards Kobe MaGee and Martin Somerville each scored nine, both finishing the night with three 3-point field goals made.

By Sam Stevens
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Robert McCray V led all scorers with 29 points and Kobe MaGee added 14 points in Florida State's 78-76 loss to the No. 10 Florida Gators at the Exactech Arena at the Stephen O'Connell Center 78-76. McCray V scored his Florida State high for points on nine made field goals and nine made free throws, to go along with four assists and three steals in the Seminoles' first road contest of the year.
The Seminoles fell to 2-1 and the Gators improved to 2-1.
McCray V scored 21 of his 29 points in the second half including the Seminoles' final 15 points of the game as Florida State cut a nine-point deficit to one point with 17 seconds remaining to be played. The Gators outscored the Seminoles 4-3 in the final 15 seconds of the game to earn their winning margin. A full-court heave at the buzzer by Florida State's Chauncey Wiggins was on line but fell just short as the Seminoles had a final shot to win the game.

Freshman Miles Leads Five Seminoles In Double-Figures In 87-73 Victory over UT Martin.
By Sam Stevens
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Freshman Cam Miles scored a team and career-high 17 points, including 15 in the second half, and Robert McCray V added 16 in the Seminoles' 87-73 win over UT Martin at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Also in double figures for the Seminoles were Alex Steen with 13 and Lajae Jones and AJ Swinton with 12 points each.
Florida State improved to 3-1 with the victory. The visiting Skyhawks of UT Martin are now 3-1.
Florida State turned the Skyhawks over 26 times, 19 of which were credited as steals for the Seminoles. The 19 steals are tied for the second-most in a single-game in school history. The school record for steals in a game at Florida State is 20 against Tulane on Feb. 6, 1985. The 19 steals were the most in a single game by the Seminoles since they totaled 19 steals against Butler on Dec. 30, 1996.
The 19 Seminole steals is now the third time in the first four games of the 2024-25 season that Florida State has finished the game with double-digit steals. Martin Somerville led all players with four steals. Somerville's four steals are a season-high and tied his career-high. Somerville has recorded four steals twice before at Binghamton on Feb. 6, 2025, and at Vermont on Feb. 22, 2025.
33 of the Seminoles' 87 total points were scored as they forced UT Martin into 26 turnovers. Florida State enjoyed a 33-4 margin in points scored off of turnovers.
Somerville also scored six points, recording two made 3-point shots. Somerville is tied for the team lead with 10 made 3-point shots this season.
In addition to Miles' career-high 17 points, he added two rebounds, a season-high three assists, and a season-high three steals. McCray V totaled three steals and seven assists in 25 minutes of play. McCray V leads the Seminoles with 33 assists on the season.
UT Martin would open the scoring coming off a layup by Andrija Bukumirovic. The Skyhawks would lead the Seminoles 7-2 after the first two minutes before Florida State would score six consecutive points thanks to two McCray V threes, to take the lead 8-7.
Over the next five minutes, the Seminoles outscored UT Martin 17-12 and held a six-point lead, 25-19 with 11:14 left in the first quarter. The Skyhawks would tie the game at 29-29 with six minutes remaining in the first half. From that point, five straight Alex Steen points fueled the Seminoles to take a 43-40 lead into halftime.
Steen finished the game with a season-high 13 points, a team-high seven rebounds, two assists, and two blocked shots. Steen leads the Seminoles with 29 rebounds on the season.
The turning point of the game came as Florida State opened the second half on a 16-2 run, giving the Seminoles a 59-42 lead with 15:23 remaining in the game.
Florida State outscored the Skyhawks 13-6 to close the game and reach the final score of 87-73. Miles was responsible for seven of the Seminoles' final 13 points, with all seven coming consecutively.
Swinton's three steals are the most he has recorded in a game since he recorded his previous record of two against Syracuse on Jan. 4, 2025.
UT Martin's Andrija Bukumirovic led all scorers with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Bukumirovic recorded his second double-double of the 2025-26 season.

Wiggins' Records Second Career Double-Double in Florida State's Loss at North Carolina.
By Sam Stevens
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Chauncey Wiggins scored a team-high 16 and recorded his second career double-double with 10 rebounds in Florida State's 79-66 loss against No. 12/12 North Carolina at the Dean E. Smith Center. Wiggins' double-double is his first career double-double in an ACC game. His 16 points tied his ACC career high in scoring, and he previously scored 16 points against Virginia Tech on January 25, 2025. His 10 rebounds tie his season-high, which he set against Georgia Southern on November 21 earlier this season, and broke his ACC single-game rebound record, which was eight. Robert McCray V's eight assists mark 100 assists this season, and he has reached that mark for the second time in his career (recorded 143 last season). McCray V (11), Lajae Jones (10), and Kobe MaGee (12) also finished with double-digit points.
Florida State fell to 7-7 and 0-1 in the ACC. North Carolina improved to 13-1 and 1-0 in ACC play.
Wiggins has now led the team in scoring four times this season and has scored double-figures in three consecutive games. McCray V led the team in assists for the sixth consecutive game and for the 12th time this season.
McCray V opened the scoring with a floater in the lane to put Florida State up early.
North Carolina led 13-7 with 12:10 left to play in the first half.
MaGee made a 3-point shot, and Wiggins scored a layup from a pass by Martin Somerville to cut the lead to one, 13-12, with 11:27 remaining in the half.
All four of MaGee's field goals came from behind the arc. He has now made four 3-point shots four times this season.
The Tar Heels extended their lead to six, 18-12, at the 10:56 mark. MaGee's second made 3-point shot of the game, and two made free throws from Alex Steen brought the Seminoles within one, 18-17.
The Seminoles trailed 39-28 with just over two minutes left in the first half. Florida State outscored the Tar Heels 6-1 during the last two minutes heading into intermission.
The Seminoles scored their final nine points of the half from behind the arc.
Somerville made both of his 3-point field goals in the first half. He has made at least one 3-point shot in every game this season. He has made multiple 3-point shots in 10 of Florida State's 13 games this season. Somerville has made a 3-point shot in 42 consecutive games and in 45 of 46 games in his career.
North Carolina led Florida State 40-34 after one half of play.
Through the first three minutes of the second half, Florida State outscored UNC 9-4, including a 7-0 run to cut the UNC lead to one once again with 16:20 to go in the game. Jones scored five consecutive points over that run.
The Seminoles trailed 44-43 before an 18-3 North Carolina run over the next six minutes. That spurt gave the Tar Heels a 62-46 lead. The 16-point lead tied the Tar Heels' largest lead of the game.
The Seminoles would later go on a quick 6-0 run to cut the lead to 10 at 62-52 with 7:46 remaining in the game.
UNC led 71-59 with just under three minutes in the game before McCray V scored a second-chance jumper to bring the Tar Heel lead back to 10 with 2:17 to go.
UNC outscored the Seminoles 8-6 over the last two minutes to close out the game.

Wiggins Leads Seminoles Against Wake Forest.
By Maddy Branning
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State men's basketball team fell to conference foe Wake Forest by a final score of 69-68 on Saturday night at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.
The Seminoles (7-11, 0-5 ACC) could not outlast the Demon Deacons (11-7, 2-3 ACC) in a game that saw five ties and 11 lead changes.
Three Seminoles scored in double figures, with senior forward Chauncey Wiggins leading the effort with 15 points. Senior guard Robert McCray V followed with 12 points and led the team with five assists while recording six rebounds, one block and one steal. Wiggins and McCray V each went a perfect 5-of-5 at the free-throw line. Freshman guard Thomas Bassong rounded out the three with 11 points and five boards.
Senior guard Lajae Jones pulled down a season-high and team-leading 10 rebounds in the loss. He would finish the night with seven points and one block.
Florida State shot 37.9 percent from the field (22-of-58) and a strong 89.5 percent from the stripe (17-of-19) while outrebounding Wake Forest 44-28.
Four three-pointers in the first six minutes courtesy of Somerville, McCray V, Bassong and Jones helped Florida State to a hot start while their opponent struggled to break into double digits. Miles and Swinton would also find the hoop from beyond the arc, creating an 8-point lead and forcing Wake Forest into a timeout at 9:41.
The break would prove fruitful for the Demon Deacons, who generated an 8-0 run to tie the contest at 24-24 with 8:36 remaining. A scoring drought saw a stalemate between both sides until a pair of free throws from Somerville broke the ice. Wake Forest would continue to answer and pushed ahead briefly at 3:52, yet a layup and-one by McCray would recapture the lead for the Seminoles, 30-29.
Despite pushback from the Demon Deacons, strong defensive effort from the Seminoles kept their conference foe off the board through the final two minutes of the first half. A go-ahead jumper from Wiggins coupled with two more makes at the free-throw line by Somerville sent the Seminoles into halftime with a 34-31 edge.
Somerville led the scoring effort with seven points, scoring from all areas of the hardwood highlighted by a perfect 4-for-4 mark at the stripe. Jones recorded seven rebounds while McCray V led with three assists as well as the lone block of the first half.
As a team, six different Seminoles recorded a triple and edged Wake Forest in first half rebounds (25-17), assists (8-4) and first half field goal percentage (39.3 percent to WF's 34.2 percent).
A corner three from Bassong and subsequent dunk by Steen saw a strong second half open for FSU, yet Wake Forest was quick to find their footing. Wiggins worked the paint while a mid-range jumper from Somerville saw the Seminoles work right back into the lead at 50-48 with 11:17 to go.
Fighting the lead back once more at 10:13, the Seminoles generated a 7-0 run by dominating the free-throw line alongside intermittent layups from Jones and Swinton.
Wake Forest drew close with their own free-throw shooting prowess as Florida State fought to maintain their lead as what was a nine-point gap at 4:26 quickly became just a one-point game with 24 seconds to go. The Demon Deacons would take advantage and edge ahead 69-68 in the final seconds.
