Chris Kent Leaves FSU for Austin Spurs | College Basketball News

Chris Kent, Florida State’s rising coaching star and Director of Player Development, is leaving Tallahassee to become head coach of the Austin Spurs — San Antonio’s G League affiliate. The move marks a major leap for Kent, who joined FSU last season under Luke Loucks after building his resume with stops at Chicago Bulls, Portland Trail Blazers, and even as a former Seminole grad assistant. His departure leaves a void on Loucks’ staff, with Justin Lindner — a former player and current Assistant Director of Player Development — widely seen as the frontrunner to fill the role. Kent’s journey from NBA D-League beginnings to this top G League gig highlights his steady climb, while FSU looks to maintain momentum by promoting internally for continuity.
