This is my top candidate if I were to choose the next head coach at Florida State. Siddle has been at UNCW for four seasons, where he has compiled a record of 141-97, winning the Colonial Conference and the CBI Championship in his second season and beating Kentucky at Rupp Arena in 2023-24. In the three years before he took over, they were 31-66.

The last of the ACC’s old guard, Leonard Hamilton, is resigning after this season. This means, for the first time in over two decades, Florida State needs a new men’s basketball coach.

Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton is resigning from his position following the season's conclusion and will not return to the program for the 2025-26 season, the school announced on Monday. Hamilton has been with the program since 2002 and has compiled a 456-290 record in 23 seasons at FSU and is 634-500 in 38 seasons as a college head coach.
