Hutson began his college basketball career at two junior colleges, first Bakersfield College in 1989–90 then Ventura College from 1990 to 1992. From 1992 to 1994, Hutson played at Cal State Bakersfield, which was NCAA Division II at the time. Hutson was a member of the Roadrunners' 1993 NCAA Championship and 1994 NCAA Championship squads.

In 1998, Hutson got his coaching start at his alma mater as an assistant coach for two seasons before moving on to become the head boys' basketball coach at Bakersfield HS from 2000 to 2004. He returned to the college ranks for a one-year stop at Cal Poly as an assistant coach before landing on Steve Fisher's staff at San Diego State in 2006. Hutson stayed in the position until 2011, when he accepted an assistant coaching position at UNLV on Dave Rice's staff.

In 2013, Hutson returned to San Diego State as an assistant, until April 5, 2018, when he was named the 21st head coach in Fresno State history, replacing Rodney Terry, who departed for the head coaching position at UTEP. On March 14, 2024, following Fresno State's loss earlier that day to Utah State in the Mountain West Tournament, Hutson announced that he had been fired. Hutson posted an overall record of 92–94 in his six years with the program.
