Ron Hunter is the head men's basketball coach at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. As of the 2007-2008 season he has been at IUPUI for fourteen seasons. He led the team to their first, and thus far only, NCAA tournament appearance in 2003.

On January 24, 2008, Hunter coached a game against Oakland University barefoot. He did this to benefit Samaritan's Feet, a foundation that donates shoes to people who cannot afford them. His goal was to raise 40,000 shoes, however, before tipoff, over 110,000 pairs of shoes had been donated.
