The buzz is real! After an emotional regular season finale where FSU basketball secured a dramatic win over SMU for Coach Leonard Hamilton’s 200th ACC victory, the next chapter of Seminole hoops has arrived. Fans were eager to see who would step in to replace the legendary Hamilton, and Florida State didn’t keep them waiting.
In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the college basketball world, FSU announced Luke Loucks as the new head coach of the Seminoles on Sunday. This marks a triumphant return for Loucks, a former FSU player with deep ties to the program and a track record of success at the highest levels of basketball.

The announcement was met with an outpouring of excitement and support. Fans are ecstatic to see Loucks, just 34 years old, return to lead the program. Many believe there’s no better person to replace Hamilton than the rising star who’s been a key figure in some of the NBA’s biggest franchises. His experience, passion for the game, and understanding of FSU’s legacy make him the perfect fit to carry the torch.
“Couldn’t be more excited to have @lukeloucks back in Tallahassee!” one fan tweeted, reflecting the general sentiment across social media. “FSU got a top-notch man and a great family!”
While many are praising the move, there’s still some curiosity surrounding Loucks’ ability to transition from assistant coaching to head coach, especially in the collegiate ranks. Will he be able to recruit top-tier talent and navigate the complex NIL landscape? Will the coaching staff around him step up to match his vision?
What’s certain is that Loucks’ return marks a bold new era for Florida State basketball, and fans are fired up to see what the future holds. With a five-year deal in place, Loucks has time to build a championship-caliber team that could make waves both in the ACC and beyond. Welcome home, Coach Loucks! It’s time to make some noise in Tallahassee!
