After six years as a member of the Emmanuel staff in assistant coaching and head coaching roles, Littell White was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director on Sept. 2, 2024. White will remain the Saints men's basketball head coach, entering his fourth year in the role for the 2024-25 season.

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. 

In his first three seasons, White holds a 45-34 record, including a pair of 15-win seasons in his first two years, marking the first time in team history the program has ever had four-straight 15+-win seasons.

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 led 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. As an intern, White worked with the coaching staff during the preseason to help analyze plays and rotations and was responsible for developing scouting reports on NBA players. As the Associate Head Coach, White helped lead Huron High to become the runner-up in the Class A Southeastern Conference.

White completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Marketing from Endicott College in May of 2015 while leading the basketball program as a captain for the 2014-15 academic year. He then served as an Assistant Coach at his alma mater for the 2015-2016 basketball season.
