Men's basketball coach Leonard Hamilton is looking forward to the day when victories against top-10 opponents don't cause fans (mostly students) to frantically rush the court at the final buzzer.

The chaotic scene at the Leon County Civic Center after wins against North Carolina and Wake Forest was a cross between joyous celebration and dangerous overreaction.

"You have to understand that fans in Tallahassee have been hungry for basketball success.  They're excited,'' Hamilton said.  "The students are very much involved and have been tremendously supportive, but we do want to get to the point where we're confident enough in what we are accomplishing that we don't have to overreact when we have a certain measure of success. "

"At this point, we're not at that point. ... We need to have enough success that we become accustomed to knowing how to win. ... And I think we're moving in the right direction.''
