I have known Ron Hunter since his playing days at Miami of Ohio and have followed his career closely since. I have watched him develop into one of the outstanding coaches in college basketball, taking two different programs to the NCAA Tournament despite challenging circumstances. Given Tulane's incredible academic reputation and the outstanding reputation of the American Athletic Conference, he is the right man at the right time to lead the Green Wave basketball program.
