Florida State Hires Luke Loucks as Men’s Basketball Head Coach

Florida State University has announced the appointment of Luke Loucks as the new head coach of their men's basketball team, marking a significant shift in the Seminoles' coaching lineup. Loucks, who previously served as an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings, has signed a five-year deal to lead the Seminoles into the future.

The 39-year-old coach brings a wealth of experience to the role, having played under outgoing coach Leonard Hamilton during his time at Florida State. This connection adds a layer of continuity and familiarity to his new position. Loucks' transition from the NBA to college basketball is seen as a strategic move to rejuvenate the team, following a period of transition for the program.

The hiring has been met with enthusiasm from fans and university officials alike, who are hopeful that Loucks' fresh perspective and deep roots with the program will usher in a new era of success for Florida State basketball.
