(708) 524-6518 Mark White enters his tenth season as the head coach of the Dominican University men's basketball program after guiding the Stars to their most successful season since the 1991-1992 season when the then Rosary Rebels posted a 22-10 overall record competing at the Division I level of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). White's Stars held a 17-10 overall record last season and hosted an opening round Northern Athletics Conference tournament game for the first time since Dominican joined the NCAA in 2000. Nationally, White's Stars are just one of 16 Division III men's basketball programs to improve their record for each of the last four seasons. Dominican has gone from a four-win season in 2003-2004, to a seven-win team in 2004-2005, to a 13-win team in 2005-2006 before winning 17 contests in the 2006-2007 season. During that 2006-2007 season, White's Stars played in an NCAA Division III record four-straight overtime games in a stretch from February 1 through February 10 and played in six overtime contests on the season. White returned to Dominican University in 2002 after serving as the university's head men's basketball coach from 1995-2000 as the university transitioned from NAIA to NCAA. Since his return, White has helped the team improve its record from four wins to 17 wins in just four seasons. Last season, the Stars finished third in the NAC regular season, the Stars best finish in over a decade. In addition to his coaching experience with Dominican, White spent seven seasons at NCAA Division I Northeastern Illinois as an assistant coach. Then from 2000-2002 White worked with Sportvision, the premier global provider of enhancements for sports television. While there, White was in charge of basketball content providing TV basketball analysts with the ability to reveal compelling information to the viewers, while incorporating an eye-catching graphic component. A 1984 graduate of Macalester College, a NCAA Division III institution in Minnesota, White received a bachelor of arts in economics and then received a master's degree in sports administration from the University of Illinois-Chicago. At the start of the 2007-2008 academic year, White was selected by the university's Diversity Committee as the recipient of the 2007 Sr. Clemente Davlin, OP Diversity Leadership Award for his commitment to diversity on Dominican's campus. In addition to his duties as the head men's basketball coach, White also serves as the Assistant Director of Athletics at the university and works with Immersion Media as a basketball consultant helping create an interactive, animated playbook for the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), ESPN.com and NBA.com. |
