They missed the tournament.
Jeff CameronHOST
Obviously, the history of Florida State.
Jeff CameronHOST
But also, Leonard Hamilton, if you want to talk a little bit about people that don't know how you arrived at Florida State and what that was like for you.
Luke LoucksGUEST
Yeah, like I said, I grew up a Florida State fan.
Luke LoucksGUEST
My dad actually walked on for Bobby Bowne for a season and then transferred down to a small level and played football at a Division II level.
Jeff CameronHOST
I get it.
Jeff CameronHOST
I can still remember Doris Burke at the ACC tournament when we were facing North Carolina and Leonard Hamilton stormed off the court because of the way the half ended.
Jeff CameronHOST
We totally botched the end of the half and gave up something like six points in five seconds for no reason.
Jeff CameronHOST
And he was furious.

My man, those programs were continue... [laughs] They were typically landing those kind of pro...
Matt NorlanderHOST
At Florida State, Leonard Hamilton, he was getting dudes.
Matt NorlanderHOST
But now, uh, in the current climate, yes, 'cause Florida State doesn't have the money.
Matt NorlanderHOST
A lot of other programs do.
Joshua MarloweGUEST
...
Joshua MarloweGUEST
but under Leonard Hamilton, I think that's gonna be a program flirting in the expanded tournament era to get back to, to March Madness.
Joshua MarloweGUEST
We know that Tucker Center, never an easy place to go in and play.
Isaac SchadeHOST
That's right.
Jeff CameronHOST
Damn skippy.

Jeff CameronHOST
You overcome those things.
Jeff CameronHOST
This is why we thought it was a good hire because he played here.
Jeff CameronHOST
He won an ACC championship here despite those deficiencies, right? He did that under Leonard Hamilton.
Jeff CameronHOST
He knows the culture here.
Ryan HammerHOST
There are teams like that.
Ryan HammerHOST
FSU is the one that I thought was interesting for the biggest what if because Leonard Hamilton was at FSU for 23 years.
Ryan HammerHOST
He went to one elite eight, but this FSU team was probably the best FSU team ever.
Ryan HammerHOST

This team had Devin Vassell, Patrick Williams, MJ Walker, like they were nasty.
Ryan HammerHOST
And they were poised to maybe make a potential run.
Ryan HammerHOST

Ryan HammerHOST
And they may obviously know how that goes.
Ira SchoffelHOST
Obviously, people know that if they've watched this.
Ira SchoffelHOST
And Leonard Hamilton, when we covered him later in his career, he would use references to seasons where, well, you know, six years ago or eight years ago, we lost two games to whoever early in the season.
Ira SchoffelHOST
It's like, yeah, but that's not the recipe for getting good.
Ira SchoffelHOST
He'd be like, yeah, remember that year we lost to Princeton at home or whatever? It's like, yeah, that happened.
Jeff CameronHOST
to.
Jeff CameronHOST
It reminds you of when Leonard Hamilton would tell us every year preseason back in the day that they were going to run.
Jeff CameronHOST
You're like,
Tom LangHOST
you ain't going to run.
