Marc Kuntz was named Post University head men's basketball coach in July 2016 after spending the previous four years as the assistant coach at the University of New Hampshire.

In his time at Post, Kuntz has slowly built the program from the ground up into a CACC contender. Going from a 7-21 first season into a program-best 20-9 record and 15-2 conference record during the 2021-22 season. Since his arrival, the Eagles have made the CACC Tournament five times and during the 2023-24 season, were nationally ranked for the first time in program history.

Returning nearly everyone from that NCAA Tournament team for the 2024-25 campaign, Kuntz's squad was able to secure the second seed in the North Division, leading the Eagles to their first CACC Championship Game since 2003-04, where they fell to the University of Bridgeport, 67-57, finishing the season with an 18-13 record.  

The 2023-24 season marked the first time in program history that the Eagles made the NCAA Tournament, getting in with an at-large bid, which turned into their first NCAA Tournament win in program history against St. Thomas Aquinas College, 80-72, before falling to the eventual East Region Champions in Southern New Hampshire University in the Second Round. 

During December 2023, Post was ranked 23rd in the D2CSC National Poll and jumped as high as 11th in January while ranking first in the East Region Poll for the first time in program history as well. In the NABC Poll, the Eagles shot as high as 18th in the nation under Kuntz's guidance during the season.
