Florida State men's basketball coach Leonard Hamilton announced on Monday that he will resign from his position following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, his 23rd leading the Seminoles.

The 76-year-old Hamilton is the all-time winningest men's basketball coach in program history with a record of 434-290 go to along with 16 NCAA tournament appearances.

"I am deeply thankful for the tremendous support of our fans, alumni, and everyone associated with Florida State throughout my time here," <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://seminoles.com/news/2025/2/3/mens-basketball-hamilton-submits-resignation-effective-at-end-of-season">Hamilton said in a statement</a>. "I am proud of the quality of the young men that it was my privilege to lead, for their faith in this program and in their belief in the philosophy that we tried to instill in them over the years. I have been blessed beyond words for the opportunity and the experience we've had here."

Hamilton's contract — one that pays him $2.25 million plus bonuses per year — is up after this season — season where the Seminoles are 13-9 and 4-7 in ACC play.

Hamilton is also facing a lawsuit filed by six former FSU players over alleged unpaid NIL compensation totaling $1.5 million, as reported by Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger in December.
