Harold Seymore Hunt (December 12, 1907 – November 1, 1992) was an American football and basketball coach.
He stood out and gained nationwide exposure[1][2][3][4] as an example of sportsmanship when he rejected a touchdown that would have won a game for his team.
[5] Hunt was the 13th head football coach for the Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas, serving for three seasons, from 1949 to 1951, and compiling a record of 6–18–3[6] The opening game of the 1951 season against Central Missouri State produced an event that opposing coach Tate Page called "the finest act of sportsmanship" that he ever saw.
Not a single one of the referees had been in a position to see him do so, but they agreed to nullify the touchdown, and returned the ball to the point where Coach Hunt said Johnson had stepped out.
Hunt also was the head basketball coach at Southwestern for three seasons, from 1949 to 1952, tallying a mark of 31–37.
