Michael Gregory "Mike" Dunlap (born May 27, 1957) is an American basketball coach. He is currently the head coach of Loyola Marymount University.
Dunlap is the former head coach of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats. He replaced Paul Silas after the Bobcats' 2011-2012 season, in which the team had the worst winning percentage in NBA history. He previously served as the interim head coach and assistant coach at St. John's University, and head coach at Metro State. He also served as the assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets from 2006 to 2008.
While at Metro State, Dunlap led his team to NCAA Division 2 championships in 2000 and 2002. He posted an overall record of 248–50, leading the Roadrunners to nine NCAA Tournament appearances in each of his nine seasons as head coach (1997–2006).
He also spent five years as head basketball coach at California Lutheran University.
Dunlap also served three seasons in Australia (1994-1996) as head coach of the Adelaide 36ers in the National Basketball League. Dunlap signed to coach Adelaide for 5 years at approximately AU$200,000 per year, making him the NBL's first million dollar coach. Dunlap was successful in taking the team to the NBL Grand Final in 1994 against the North Melbourne Giants and the semi-finals in 1995 and 1996. Over his three season in Adelaide Dunlap compiled a 59-36 record before returning to the USA just weeks before the 1997 season following the sudden death of his father. Dunlap is credited as the coach who kick-started the NBL career of the 36ers all-time leading home grown player Brett Maher.
