(Left coaching staff in July 2015)

Dan Hunt, a former assistant at Northeastern University and head coach at two Boston-area Division III colleges, has been an assistant women’s basketball coach at Bentley University since the fall of 2008. 

Hunt came to Bentley after serving as head women’s basketball at Lesley College from 2006-08. During his four years as a head coach, including a two-year stint at Lasell College from 2001-03, Hunt amassed a record of 44-60. 

In between those two stints, Hunt spent three years as an assistant coach at Northeastern University, where his duties included serving as recruiting coordinator as well as on floor coaching and game preparation. 

“We’re excited to have Dan join our basketball staff,” said Stevens after his hiring. “He has had valuable experience coaching at both D-1 and D-3 institutions and has proven that he can motivate and develop players at all levels. He has widespread recruiting contacts, which will also prove to be very valuable to our program. Our players will benefit from his expertise, energy and enthusiasm.” 

A 1997 graduate of Bridgewater State College, Hunt was a standout basketball player for the Bears, scoring over 1,500 points while earning All-League honors three times (second team twice, first team once). He played professionally in Norway for a year after graduation and also was an assistant men’s basketball coach at Framingham State from 1998-2001. 

Hunt, a Waltham resident, has two children, Hailey (12) and Will (9).
