When you look up class and character and integrity, there's always a picture of Leonard Hamilton right there.

And we have truly been blessed by a university, what he's meant to this department, that program,

more importantly, what his core values all through this community.

And you couldn't ask for a better man to leave this program for 23 years.

So I want to thank Leonard Hamilton for all he's done.

It's always great to bring him on the Cynarne family.

And there's a few of them in there.

But I can tell you to this process,

Luke's preparation and really stood out. His passion from Florida State University, every

conversation we had, he just kept bringing it to a different level. And especially

when you look at the analytical part of this game, his knowledge of this game, how

prepared he was to talk about the future of Florida State basketball.

We couldn't ask for someone better to leave this into the next decade plus, right?

He'll be here a lot.

But he brings unique qualities to Florida State, and he fits our culture and that was so important

to go into this process identifying someone who not only knew the game not only had a

vision for where we were going to go in the future but also who fit our head

coaches when you look at our head coaches, we have the very best,

and a few of them here are coaches, Jared, for the poor.

We have the best coaches across the country.

But more importantly, we have a culture amongst those coaches

that is truly special.
