Tulane head coach Ron Hunter takes listeners on a deeply personal journey that stretches far beyond the sidelines. From the early childhood moment that led his mother to place him in Catholic school — and the unlikely beginnings of his basketball education at the hands of a priest and a nun — Hunter reflects on how faith, structure, and academics helped shape his identity as both a player and a leader.
Coach shares the inspiration behind his long-standing commitment to Samaritan’s Feet, the unexpected life lessons basketball has taught him, and the pivotal moments that reshaped his approach to coaching over more than three decades. Along the way, Hunter discusses the influence of mentors like John Thompson, the humility gained from becoming a head coach at 30, the evolution of building culture, and the profound meaning of coaching his son, RJ, including their visit to Cameron Indoor Stadium.
It’s a thoughtful, heartfelt conversation about purpose, perspective, and the people who change the course of our lives — sometimes in the most unlikely ways.
