2012 Men's Volleyball Season Outlook

The #9-ranked Waves opened the 2012 season at home this Saturday at 7 p.m. versus Lewis. The Waves and Flyers meet again at 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Up-and-coming volleyball coach David Hunt is in his fourth year as a Pepperdine assistant coach in 2013, and begins his sixth season overall working with the Waves.

Before being elevated to the role of assistant coach prior to the 2010 season, he was the team's video coordinator and a volunteer assistant the previous two years. As a full-time assistant, his duties include film exchange, preparing scouting reports, recruiting, travel and summer camps.

In 2010, he received the AVCA's Thirty Under 30 award, given to standout volleyball coaches under the age of 30.

In his three seasons as an assistant, the Waves have put together a record of 41-40 (.506)*.

Hunt's coaching expertise has also been extended to the USA Volleyball community. He traveled to Tijuana, Mexico in July 2012 as an assistant coach for the U.S. Boys' Youth National Team where the squad won the bronze medal at the NORCECA Boys' Youth Continental Championship and qualified for the 2013 FIVB Youth World Championships.

In the summer of 2011, he worked as an assistant coach for the U.S. Men's Junior National Team that competed at the FIVB World Championships in Brazil.

In the fall of 2008, Hunt was selected to travel with the U.S. Men's National Team to the Pan American Cup in Cuiaba, Brazil, where he was the technical coordinator.

Prior to joining Pepperdine, Hunt worked at Harvard-Westlake High School as an assistant to former Pepperdine assistant coach Adam Black. The pair led the team to a state championship in 2007. Hunt has also coached at the Marv Dunphy Volleyball Camp, and has participated in Gold Medal Squared coaching clinics across the United States since 2007.

Hunt graduated from UCLA in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in history. A native of Glendale, Calif., he recently earned his master's degree in coaching and athletic administration from Concordia in 2011.

*Pepperdine later vacated all wins (66), NCAA Tournament loses (1), Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament titles (1) and NCAA Tournament appearances (1) accrued during the 2008, `09, `10 and `11 seasons due to self-reported NCAA violations. Records marked with an asterisk do not reflect this. The Waves have officially won three MPSF Tournament titles and made 14 NCAA appearances. Official season records are as follows: 2008, 0-10; 2009, 0-5; 2010, 0-10; 2011, 0-15. Since 2010, Pepperdine's official NCAA record stands at 14-40.
