In a 15 minute gavel-and-go special session Wednesday afternoon the Florida House took time to recognize FSU head Basketball Coach Leonard Hamilton.
Members who attended FSU gathered around Representative Jimmy Patronis to announce the coach’s presence and wish him luck in the NCAA tournament.
Even Gator graduates wished the coach success.
Hamilton says he’s not looking past the Noles first round game against St. Bonaventure Friday and he doesn’t seem to mind his team’s third seed placement. "It doesn’t really matter how high of a seed you get, as long as you are going to the NCAA tournament. You’ve just got to go out there and play and perform and see what happens from there.”
Hamilton lead the Noles to their first ACC Conference Title in school history. They beat Duke and North Carolina to grab the title.
