Herbert Bunker (August 24, 1896 – December 6, 1980) was an American college athlete, coach and administrator. He played four varsity sports at the University of Missouri, earning All-America honors in basketball for all three of his varsity seasons. He then went on to coach football and basketball at several schools, later becoming the head football coach and athletic director at Culver–Stockton College.
Bunker was born in Nevada, Missouri, and attended the University of Missouri, where he earned varsity letters in football, basketball, baseball and track. It was in basketball where Bunker distinguished himself the most, earning All-Missouri Valley Conference three times. In 1943, the Helms Athletic Foundation retroactively named Bunker to All-America teams for each of these three years. Following his college career, Bunker served as freshman coach for football and basketball at his alma mater. He was hired as assistant football and head basketball coach at Auburn University in 1924.[1] After a short stint as an assistant football coach at Florida, he became head football coach and athletic director at Culver–Stockton College. He later was head of the physical education department at his alma mater.[2]
Bunker died on December 6, 1980, in Columbia, Missouri.[2]
