She is best known as the head coach of the Louisiana State University (LSU) Lady Tigers basketball team.

1958

A fine player in her own right, Gunter played Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball for Nashville Business College from 1958 to 1962 earning AAU All-America honors in 1960.

1962

Gunter obtained both a bachelor's and a master's degree from Peabody in 1962.

George Peabody did not have a women's basketball team, so she played for the AAU team in Nashville sponsored by Nashville Business College.

Gunter began her coaching career at Middle Tennessee State University where she led the Blue Raiders to undefeated seasons in both of her years there (1962–1964).

Gunter then had a very successful coaching stint at Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) in Nacogdoches, Texas.

In 1980, the United States Olympic Team selected Gunter as the head women's basketball coach.

Gunter guided her team to the title at the Olympic Qualifying Tournament prior to the Games, however, they did not compete for a gold medal due to the United States' boycott of the Olympic Games in Moscow.
