Florida St really having a banner year in athletics for fball and bball, eh?

 

[Fly Rodder]

He's 77 and they're 56-62 over the last four seasons.

Not a huge surprise.

Not a huge surprise.

Who said it wasn’t his choice?

 

[Fly Rodder]

Who said it wasn’t his choice?

I didn't write anything about whose choice. Just that its not a surprise.

 

[Red2003]

Bunny Colvin and Hamsterdam just never worked out. Saw it coming.

 

[cusefan88]

Will Wade incoming I bet.

77.

Does anyone just retire anymore? My God.

 

[PhatOrange]

I wonder if they will promote his assistant coach?

 

[Eric15]

Obviously Hamilton never reached the heights that Boeheim did, but his career trajectory feels a bit similar in how he kind of fizzled out at the end and probably stayed on for 3ish years too long.

Unfortunately for Hamilton one of his best teams of his career was 2019-20 which was cancelled. FSU would have been about a 2 seed in the tourney. They were 26-5 and 16-4 in the ACC that season.

Coach Ham was a good guy. CBB is such a damn mess. It was definitely time for Hamilton to retire but Wild West NIL with no guardrails was part of the cause of Florida State’s four-year downturn after he made them relevant. The whole thing is ruining college sports. Sad times.

 

[Dcuse]

Im sure he is as disgusted with the College sports world as the other great coaches that have left these last few years.

[DilemaCuse]

Internal hire at FSU?
Gotta be if he's the schools winningest coach, right?

 

[JustPherU]

Class act the way he talked about Buddy and the Boeheim family the night Buddy went low on the Florida State player.

 

[hoopsupstate]

That’s what happens when you blow a game to BC. There’s going to be a free for all in the ACC for new coaches next year. Miami, FSU, Virginia and potentially more.

 

[M2MPrinciples]

The ACC needs to do what the SEC did 10 years ago and tell the ADs to stop penny-pinching on coaches. I believe Scheyer, Keatts, Capel and Shrewsberry are the only guys making over $3M annually. Red is right at that number but we all know how that's going.

Jay Wright and Tony Bennett. But you have a point.

Hey now I called out that resemblance years ago. Glad to see it resurface

UNC.

 

[LAorange44]

With Leonard and Laranaga gone, we should really be making a push to have the best coach in the league. The league is soft like last year’s football schedule. A real winner could make some serious noise very quickly with the collective JV lineup of coaches in this league. Given we haven’t made any real noise since 2013, if we were a serious program, we would be chomping at the bit to takeover the league while it’s down.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Continuity hire!

hamilton getting burred.
