Hamilton went to a few sweet16s an elite 8. His best team may have been the Covid year. Loucks is a good coach but pump the brakes on him better than Hamilton. It would be like saying Jai Lucas is a better coach than Larranaga. Lucas was a great hire and doing a great job but let’s give them time to see what Lucas and Loucks can do long term. Hamilton and Larranaga maybe hung around too long but they were very good basketball coaches ** Edited by millmtnhokie at 2/10/2026, 9:47:52 PM
