In addition, He recruited six players who went on to garner All-America honors at the collegiate level - David Kilson (Nevada, Reno), Andre Gurode (Colorado), Michael Lewis (Colorado), Cade McNown (UCLA), Sam Merriman (Idaho) and Jamir Miller (UCLA).

Hundley began his coaching career in 1974 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Western Oregon State. He went on to stints at Clackamas Community College, Idaho, UNR, Oregon State, UCLA, Colorado, Washington, UTEP, SMU and then back to UCLA.
