Hamilton, who recently announced his resignation effective at the end of the season, holds the FSU record with 436 career wins and is the fifth-winningest coach in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference. In 23 seasons at FSU, Hamilton has led the Seminoles to 16 postseason appearances and at least 20 wins 12 times. His Seminoles won the 2012 ACC Tournament championship, the first ACC basketball championship in program history, and earned the school's first ACC regular-season title in the 2019-20 season.
