Basketball:
Florida State men’s basketball video coordinator Chase Goldstein was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) 2019 Under Armour 30-Under-30 Team, comprised of (you guessed it), 30 of the top college basketball coaches under the age of 30.
Take two minutes out of your day to watch incoming four-star forward Patrick Williams’ hooptape and thank me later.
The Seminoles got graded out as the second-highest team in the ACC behind Virginia (and Duke got a C, so ha.)
