Loucks is currently an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings. He was previously on Steve Kerr’s staff with the Golden State Warriors from 2016-21 and was a part of 2 NBA Championship-winning teams with the Warriors. He’s been with the Kings since 2022.
Loucks is a former Florida State player who was a 4-year contributor under Hamilton from 2008-12. As a junior, Loucks came off the bench for a FSU team that reached the Sweet 16 as a 10-seed back in 2011. The next season, Loucks was a starter as the Noles earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament — still tied for the best seed in program history. The Noles also won the ACC Tournament title back in 2012.
Per Adelson’s reporting, the 2 parties are expected to finalize a deal this weekend. Florida State will battle SMU at home on Saturday before heading to the ACC Tournament.
