Hunter was an assistant at NC State under head coach Herb Sendek from 2002-2005. Prior to his arrival, Sendek had been at the helm for 5 seasons without a NCAA Tournament appearance. With the arrival of Hunter, came the arrival of the Princeton style offense that he helped Sendek implement. Hunter helped Sendek lead the Wolfpack to 4 consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
In total, Hunter coached 38 seasons, racking up 702 wins as a head coach (Ohio, Wittenberg, and Western Carolina).
