University of Idaho Athletics

When White finished his Idaho basketball career, he was the leading scorer in Vandal history with 1,319 career points, despite the lack of a three-point line. His record would stand for another 13 years before Steve Weist surpassed him in 1976. He also held the single-season scoring record and the single-game mark as well.

His senior year, with teammate Gus Johnson, White and the Vandals went 20-6 on the year in the final season before the start of the Big Sky Conference.

White's athleticism was on show on the baseball field as well where he batted .284 his senior season. He was eventually drafted by the NBA's San Francisco Warriors and the MLB's Baltimore Orioles.

Maybe his biggest impact came as a coach. White coached for 45 years in the Alaska high school ranks where he racked up 921 career wins and 18 state championships with a .802 winning percentage. He eventually coached future Vandal football standout Mao Tosi. He coached at Adams State College from 2010-15.

He passed away in 2019 at the age of 78.
