Let's play a fun game. Without looking it up, how old is Leonard Hamilton?

It was time he had a great run at FSU.

Well, I do know how to look it up but I'll play. He was an assistant on the '78 championship team and that's 47 years ago and he looked late 20s to me at the time so I'll guess 75.

 

[BlueBomb]

We owe the '78 title to Hamilton. And that '84 team of superstars was also primarily due to Hamilton.

Respect.

73...just guessing based on @ukfan1622 analysis.

 

[Myth Buster51]

I’m guessing 76, but that’s probably too low…

I was gonna say 72, but 73 works

Would be a good ambassador for Kentucky, not Cow

He didn't wait until after the season to announce??? 😱😱😱

He really jump started that Miami program into what it has become. Amazing he was able to coach for so long. 36 years as a head coach in the Big Eight (now Big 12), Big East and ACC. Unfortunately in those 36 years, he only made it past the Sweet 16 once.

Game is over since somebody googled it and posted the answer but you made the best guess. I missed it by one year.

He’s being sued by players over NIL promises.

hOW OLD IS Hamilton, he was Joe B.'s number one recruiter for several years,

Best wishes to Hamilton. I assume most of the team will enter the portal after the season now. Looking at FLSt.'s roster it looks like they have a couple of Sophomores (Bowen and Deng) that might be a nice pickup as a 2nd unit PF option with upside.

He must be in his late 60s, early 70s.

 

[chevyman 50]

When he was the assistant to Joe B he was one of the best recruiters in the game, the guy has always been a classy coach.

 

[trueblujr2]

Sad to see, it, but he is 76 so He's been due to retire for a while. but the dude has aged well. I'm gonna guess the whole NIL mess has driven him out or at least gave him that last push he needed to call it a career.

Unless he's the guy that cuts the checks for FSU's NIL they might be suing the wrong guy.

They are suing everyone. He’s just part of it.

Wanna guess who they blame?

I don't want to guess but I'd love to hear you answer the question.

When I was 14 and at Joe B. Hall basketball camp, lights were to be out at 10.

Fell asleep with mine on, coach Hamilton came into my room and slammed a play book on my chest.

Scared the F out of me, told me son turn the damn light out now if I find it on again after lights out you'll be sorry.

Ran into him at DFW airport about 15 yrs ago. Had the chance to share that with him, he just LOL really great guy.

They are going to blame him.

If they lose. If they win then they are all one big family. 😆

There was a FSU game on TV the other day, and I looked him up so I knew it was 76. I guess I jinxed him…
