Hamilton and Florida State: A large cast that’s putting on a heck of a show

By Chuck Culpepper Chuck Culpepper Reporter who covers national college football, college basketball, tennis, golf and international sports. Email Bio Follow March 27 at 7:50 PM ANAHEIM, Calif. — If human bonding and collaboration are indeed desirable matters, then the most appealing team remaining in the NCAA tournament would be Florida State, the No. 4 seed primed to find No. 1 Gonzaga on Thursday for a West Region semifinal rematch.

“Leonard” would be Leonard Hamilton, the 70-year-old who looks a quarter-century younger after spending 12 seasons as an assistant at Kentucky, then head-coaching four seasons at Oklahoma State, 10 at Miami and 17 at Florida State. Having spent his past 26 seasons in leagues rife with basketball aristocracy, Hamilton has had to find a way to stay afloat, so this Hamilton is a beacon of collaboration, like that other “Hamilton.

“For instance, the other night,” Hamilton said, Kabengele “came to me begging me not to put him back in the game because he wanted Christ [Koumadje, the 7-4 giant] to have minutes. So I put Mfiondu back in the game, and he faked, I say, like he was tired so Christ could get more minutes.” “It’s a unique deal,” Young said. “You don’t see it much. Most kids and their families are extremely selfish. But I think they all know if we all buy in, and we win a championship, then everybody’s going to be successful.”

“I think that’s probably the most difficult thing in that. Then they obviously do a wonderful job in explaining that in recruiting, too, because usually when you are recruiting, everybody wants to start and wants to shoot and wants to play 40 minutes a game. I tip my hat to what they’ve been able to do there, and it’s a system that certainly has worked well and worked very well.”

Because the Big East had not been unforgiving enough, he wandered on into the ACC, and he can reel off some numbers about teams in the conference and where they rank on the all-time wins list, including: North Carolina , Duke , Syracuse , Notre Dame , Louisville and North Carolina State .
