Hutton was born in Excelsior, Minnesota, and grew up on the campus of Hamline University, where Hutton's father was the basketball coach. He naturally grew up on basketball and went to college there, being selected All-American 1949. He would then play two years with the Minneapolis Lakers, helping them to the 1952 NBA Championship. He was drafted shortly thereafter into the U.S. Army, but the Korean war reached an armistice before Hutton could be sent there for battle. Released from the Army, Hutton decided instead of returning to the Lakers to take the coaching job at Minneapolis South High School. At some point in the 1960's, he switched over to Lincoln High School in Bloomington to coach his sons.

He married Millie in 1950 and had three sons and one daughter.
