WESTERN CAROLINA HEAD COACH LARRY HUNTER Larry Hunter, one of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) leaders in coaching victories, was named Western Carolina University’s 17th head men’s basketball coach all time on April 29, 2005. His impact was felt immediately. Hunter was inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame on May 21, 2016. In 45 seasons as a col- legiate basketball coach -- 30 of which were spent in the state of Ohio -- Hunter put together a resume worthy of induction. He has been a part of 845 wins as a coach including 680 as the leading man on the sideline. Known for his offensive prowess, Hunter brought an up-tempo offense to Cullowhee and the Catamounts responded by making a school-record 221 3-pointers, while tying or setting the single- game school record for 3-pointers made in a game on six occasions. The record now stands at 274 made 3-pointers which occurred during the 2009-10 season. The top-nine slots in the school record books for 3-point field goals made in a season belong to Larry Hunter coached teams. Hunter, whose teams posted winning records in 27 of his 37 seasons as a head coach, enters the 2017-18 season boasting an overall record of 689-434 -- the ninth winningest active coach in the country. On Nov. 15, 2011, Hunter claimed his 600th career victory. During his time as a head coach, Hunter has made 11 overall NCAA tournament appearances, while making seven as an assistant coach. He has an impressive 65-37 record in postseason play including trips to the NCAA, NIT, CIT and CBI. Throughout his 37-year head coaching career, Hunter has guided his teams to wins over nationally ranked teams including Louisville, Brad- ley, Virginia, George Washington, New Mexico State, Syracuse, Connecticut, Stanford, Ohio State, Arizona State, DePaul and West Virginia. Hunter not only leads his teams on the court but he has also been a proven leader in the classroom. All but one player he has recruited who completed his eligibility has graduated. Under Coach Hunter’s guidance, the Catamount men’s basketball team garnered the APR Public Recog- nition Award for the fourth-straight year in 2016, the longest consecutive run by any Catamount program. The award is given to athletic teams ranking in the top 10 percent of Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores within the NCAA Division I in their respective sports. Hunter led the Catamounts to a perfect 1000 APR from 2009-13 and then again from 2010-14. Jake Robinson, a 2010 graduate from WCU, was the recipient of SoCon Coleman-Lew Leadership Award and was an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America selection. Hunter has guided Western Carolina to just its second and third Southern Conference divisional titles, sharing both the 2008-09 and 2010-11 crowns with Chattanooga. He also led the Catamounts in setting a Ramsey Center record with 14 home wins in 2009-10. Hunter recruited and coached both the 2008-09 SoCon Freshman of the Year in Harouna Mutombo - WCU’s first rookie of the year since Jarvis Hayes in 2000 and only the fourth Catamount all-time to garner the award - and the 2010-11 SoCon Freshman of the Year Trey Sumler. Hunter also recruited and coached WCU’s all-time leader in steals, Brigham Waginger, who garnered SoCon Defensive co-Player of the Year plaudits in 2009-10. A year later, a Hunter recruit, Richie Gordon, again earned top defensive player honors. While his first year at WCU was just his third losing season as a head coach, posting a 13-17 mark, Hunter’s inaugural season with the Catamounts saw many positives. Western Carolina nearly doubled its win total from the previous season. Also, its 7-7 record and third place finish in the SoCon North was its best in the league since posting the same record for the 1996-97 season, while placing second that season. Key wins in his first season included: a win over Bowling Green in the season opener - WCU’s first season-opening win over an NCAA Division I team since defeating Georgia Tech to start the 1980-81 season; a win over Chattanooga - snapping an eight-game losing streak to the Mocs; a win at Davidson - snapping Davidson’s 19-game home winning streak which was the third longest in the NCAA at the time; and defeating SoCon North Champion Elon late in the season - setting up a battle for a first-round bye at the league tournament. Western Carolina has rewritten the school record books under Hunter. The Catamounts have set school records for 3-pointers made (274 in 2009-10); attempted (753 in 2009-10) and threes per game (8.06 in 09-10) in a season, as well as making at least 14, 3-pointers in a game 10 times, including a school-record 20 treys against Charleston Southern on Dec. 18, 2013. Hunter’s teams have scored over 109 points in a game eight times throughout his tenure at Western Carolina including a school record 141 points in a game during 2011-12 season. Hunter guided the Catamounts to two Southern Conference Tournament Championship games in three years from 2011-12 to 2013-14. He also guided the Catamounts to their best start in SoCon play (4-0) in both the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. During the 2015-16 season, Hunter saw senior Mike Brown become the 46th player in WCU history to reach 1,000 career points. During his 11 years at the helm of the Western Carolina men’s basketball program, Hunter has guided ten players to the 1,000 career points mark including the program’s third leading scorer all-time Trey Sumler who scored 1,996 points over four seasons under coach Hunter’s guidance. Following the 2015-16 season, Hunter guided the Catamounts to just their third postseason tournament in the Division I era at WCU. Two of those trips have come under Hunter’s watch including a trip to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) following the 2009-10 season and the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) in 2015-16. Hunter came to Western Carolina after four years as an assistant coach at North Carolina State, the final three serving as associate head coach. In his first season at N.C. State (2002), the Wolfpack reached the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championship game and received their first NCAA Championship bid since 1991. N.C. State would go on to reach at least the ACC Tournament semifinals in each the last three years as well as receiving bids to the NCAA Championship. In 2004, Hunter coached Julius Hodge, who was tabbed ACC Player of the Year and consensus All-America. In 2005, the Wolfpack made an impressive run at season’s end and defeated defending NCAA Champion Connecticut to reach the Sweet 16. N.C. State was just one of 21 teams in the nation to play in the NCAA Championship in each of the last four years. Hunter spent 12 years (1989-2001) as head coach at Ohio University prior to his stint in Raleigh. Five years after taking over the Bobcat bas- 2017-18 Western Carolina Men’s Basketball GAME 10 • AT #11/10 NORTH CAROLINA • DEC. 6, 2017 • 7 P.M. • DEAN E. SMITH CENTER • CHAPEL HILL, N.C. ketball program (1993-94), he led Ohio to a 25-8 record and was tabbed the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Coach of the Year, winning both the league’s regular season and tournament titles. The following year, the Bobcats won the preseason National Invitation Tournament (NIT), went 24-10 and reached the second round of the postseason NIT. At Ohio, he coached 16 All-MAC performers and four first-team Academic All-MAC selections. Among those standout players were Player of the Year honorees Dave Jamerson (1990), Gary Trent (1993, `94 and `95) and (2003). Trent additionally earned MAC Freshman of the Year honors in 1993, duplicating the feat of Rush Floyd in 1991 during his fresh- man campaign with the Bobcats. Jamerson set a MAC record with 874 points in 1990 while taking home first team Academic All-America honors that season. Later in 1990, Jamerson was an National Basketball Association (NBA) first round selection (15th pick overall) by Miami. Trent, a third team Associated Press All-America in 1995, would leave Ohio after his junior season to become a NBA first round selection (11th overall pick) of the Milwaukee Bucks. Brandon Hunter also moved on to play professionally, being an NBA second-round pick in 2003. Jamerson (third with 2,336), Trent (seventh with 2,108) and Brandon Hunter (11th with 2,012) all rank among the MAC’s top 11 in scoring, while Brandon Hunter and Trent rank fifth (1,103) and ninth (1,050), respectively, on the MAC’s career rebounding list. Thirty of the 38 players he coached at Ohio who completed their eligibility there graduated, including 12 who went on to earn their Master’s degrees, posting an overall graduation rate as a head coach of 85 percent. In his last season at Ohio, the Bobcats were 19-11, with a 12-6 mark in MAC competition, and his overall record with the Bobcats was 204-148. After winning his 500th career game as a collegiate head coach (Jan. 23, 2001), Hunter said, “My approach has been simple: Arrive early, work late and chop wood all day long. I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by some great people and I’ve worked at two great institutions, Wit- tenberg and Ohio. Add all those things together over 20 years and you start to have a small pile of wood.” From 1976-89, Hunter was the head coach at Wittenberg University, playing a key role in the school being the winningest NCAA Division III basketball program in terms of victories and percentage. Hunter made an immediate impact after taking over the helm, winning National Asso- ciation of Basketball Coaches (NABC) National Coach of the Year honors in 1977 after becoming the first coach in NCAA history to win a national championship in his first season at a school. During his 13 years in that position, his team turned in a 305-76 record and made four NCAA Divi- sion III Final Four appearances (national title in 1977, national runner-up in 1983 and third place in 1980 and 1987). He coached three national players of the year at Wittenberg, including Tyrone Curtis (1981), Tim Casey (1985) and Brad Baldridge (1991), as well as having 21 all-conference honors bestowed upon his players.
