Luke Loucks, formerly an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings, has been named the new head coach of Florida State. His journey into coaching was sparked by his former coach Leonard Hamilton, who encouraged him to explore coaching while he was rehabbing from an injury. Loucks’ background includes significant experience as a video coordinator and player development coach with the Golden State Warriors, where he won two championships, before continuing his coaching career with the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings. Loucks expressed that his journey felt destined, emphasizing the importance of connections in professional development.
"I don’t know how to put it into words, but it’s like it was meant to be this whole time. This whole journey led me to this point."
"You're going to be a head coach. It's just a matter of when," said Mike Brown about Loucks, emphasizing his potential for significant leadership roles.
Hamilton suggested making connections during Loucks’ rehab, leading to his first role in coaching, which began a rapid ascent through professional basketball.
Loucks' career evolution, from being an NBA player to an assistant coach, ultimately positioned him for the head coaching role at Florida State.
