Leonard Hamilton has had FSU basketball on an upward trajectory for the past five years. They won 20 or more games during that span and made the NCAA Tournament the last three seasons while being ranked top 10 in three of those years.
Leonard Hamilton has guided the Noles to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Elite 8 and Sweet 16 the last three seasons.
The Noles have had five players drafted since 2016, three of them first-rounders.
