FSU coach Leonard Hamilton pleased with basketball trip to Canada

As Leonard Hamilton prepares to start his 21st season at Florida State, the legendary coach knows this upcoming team is probably one of the youngest he’s coached since arriving in Tallahassee.

With seven freshmen and six sophomores comprising most of the 2022-23 roster, the Seminoles face a massive learning curve before stepping on the court for the season opener on Nov. 7 against Stetson. But before FSU begins preseason camp, Hamilton decided to take his team on the road for a 10-day NCAA-sanctioned basketball tour of Canada.

“This was a very important tool for us because we have so many new guys to integrate into the system,” said Hamilton, 74.
