Florida State reorganizes coaching staff for the 2026-27 basketball season
Summary

Florida State head coach Luke Loucks has finalized several changes to his men’s basketball staff ahead of the 2026-27 season. Justin Lindner earned a promotion to assistant coach after serving as an assistant director of player development. Sam Logwood joins the program as the director of video and scouting, bringing prior experience from the Sacramento Kings and Cal State Bakersfield. These appointments follow the departure of Chris Kent, who left the university to become the head coach of the Austin Spurs in the NBA G League.
