Coach White joined the Emmanuel staff in 2018 and was elevated to Interim Head Coach status on May 25, 2021 before officially being named the Head Coach of the program on October 1, 2021 following three successful seasons as an Assistant Coach under Danny Lawson. 

Over his first two campaigns as Head Coach, White has has led the Saints to 33 wins marking the first time in program history that the team put together four consecutive 15+ win campaigns. The 2022-23 squad posted 13 wins in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action, one shy of the single-season program record, and also posted the program's first victory over a nationally ranked opponent when they bested No. 22 Wesleyan (CT), 72-68, on November 22, 2022. His 2021-22 squad held opponents to under 70 ppg and picked up an opening round victory in the 2022 GNAC Tournament while the 2023 team finished first in the GNAC North Division and picked up a GNAC Quarterfinal victory. 

As an Assistant Coach, White helped the program post a 37-15 (.712) record over two official seasons of play, including a 15-7 record in Great Northeast Athletic Conference action. He was a member of the 2019 D3Hoops.com Coaching Staff of the Year that lead the team to an 18-8 record to show an overall improvement of 14.5 games from the previous campaign, the largest turnaround in the country.

He followed up his stellar Emmanuel coaching debut with a 19-7 mark in 2019-20, posting the program's highest single-season winning percentage at .731 while leading the Saints to a home GNAC playoff berth for the second consecutive season.

From 2016 through 2018, White served as a Player Development Intern for the Dallas Mavericks and the Associate Head Coach at Huron High School.
