Michael Hunt enters his third season as a member of the University of Miami coaching staff.

Last season Hunt helped guide UM to an 18-16 record which included wins over two ranked teams, the Hurricanes first win over North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the school's first ACC Tournament win, and a second consecutive post season appearance.

Miami won two games in the 2006 NIT defeating Oklahoma State at the BankUnited Center, the first NIT game hosted by the University of Miami, and a road win against Creighton marking the Hurricanes first NIT road win.

In his first season Hunt helped the Hurricanes record one of the nation's most surprising turnarounds. Miami, which was picked to finish last in the ACC, posted a 16-13 overall record including seven league wins, three wins over ranked opponents and a berth in the National Invitation Tournament.

Prior to joining the UM coaching staff, Hunt spent three seasons as the head coach at Towson University. During his tenure he guided the Tigers to a 23-63 record. His 11-18 record during his inaugural season marked the best record by a Towson coach in his first season.

In 2002-03 Hunt led Towson to its first CAA conference tournament victory with a 70-65 win over William and Mary.

Hunt was an assistant at the University of Tennessee from 1994-97. In his three seasons in Knoxville Hunt was instrumental in rebuilding the Volunteer program assisting in the recruiting of three straight top-20 recruiting classes. Two of those classes were ranked among the top-10 nationally while one class was ranked among the top-five in the nation.

Hunt also served on the coaching staffs at Fordham University (1992-94) and Towson State University (1988-92). While an assistant at Towson, Hunt helped guide the Tigers to a 73-47 record, three consecutive East Coast Conference Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances in 1990 and 1991.

Hunt began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Florida State University from 1986-88. During his two seasons in Tallahassee the Seminoles registered a 38-22 record including an NIT and NCAA Tournament appearance.
