FSU Coach Leonard Hamilton Responds to Buddy Boeheim Punching Incident

Buddy Boeheim had a hectic beginning to the ACC tournament, as he seemingly punched Florida State’s Wyatt Wilkes during Syracuse’s victory on Wednesday.

Boeheim wasn’t called for a foul for the play.

Meanwhile, Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton said he doesn’t believe that the is a proper representation of who Buddy Boeheim is.

“There’s not a better kid in the ACC than Buddy Boeheim,” Hamilton said. “He’s a class kid true to his character, he’s a young man who’s competitive like everyone else, and I don’t want anything to take away from how well they played and what type of fine young man he is.
