8. Leonard Hamilton, Florida State
Leonard Hamilton is one of the more tenured coaches in the head coaching ranks of the ACC. He’s entering his 17th with the Florida State Seminoles this upcoming season. They’ve had some roster turnover to address this offseason which could see negative results on the court.
Hamilton has led the Seminoles to two-straight NCAA Tournament appearances after posting a 23-12 record during the 2017-18 season. The team made it all the way to the Elite Eight last season but will have some transfers to address. His record with the Seminoles is 327-208 (.611) and barring a meltdown, he’ll be there for much longer.
Hamilton will have to address the departures of C.J. Walker and big man Ike Obiagu but with the addition of Malik Osborne (Rice) and David Nichols (Albany), they should be okay, although Osborne will have to sit out the 2018-19 season. They still return senior guard Terance Mann, who averaged 12.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists last season.
