leonard hamilton -- i like him already

[LarryD]

he's smiled more during this press conference than steve robinson ever did in five years.

he gave credit to loving the acc as one of the main reasons he wanted to coach at fsu. another is that he loves football and said he wants bobby bowden to get him on the sidelines on saturdays.

he sounds like he's going to bring the energy back into the program that it's lacked for years.

he also (jokingly, of course) said that he thinks fsu should be preseason no. 1, go undefeated and beat everyone by 50. robinson will never let loose like that in his life.

fsu, acc champs 2004

dickie v chimes in...

"Look out, Mike Krzyzewski, Gary Williams and company -- here comes Leonard Hamilton, baby! This guy will be relentless and tenacious. He's more than a recruiter. He has a great basketball IQ, a great feel for the flow of the game, a great understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of his players. Seminole Country is very lucky to get this experienced winner. Dave Hart made a fantastic choice!"

Again, I say

I don't know about ACC champs, but I agree with you Larry. This is a good - very good - hire for FSU. Hamilton already helped bring one program back from the dead.

Leonard Hamilton??

Isn't his picture on a $10 bill?

I thought he died a long time ago...

I originally thought they were talking about that guy with the really good tan. But then I surmised that he's not really a basketball guy.
