Florida coach Mike White returns to alma mater as opponent

Mike White will always be a Rebel.

He spent 11 years of his life in Oxford, Mississippi, both as a four-year starting point guard on the men’s basketball team and then as an assistant coach for seven seasons.

Now, for the first time in his career, he will face his alma mater on the campus he once called home. His Florida Gators face Ole Miss on Saturday night at 8.

"I don’t know what to expect," White said on his return to Oxford. "It’s going to be odd."

White’s resume as a player for the Rebels was impressive: 117 games played, leading the team in assists in each of his four seasons and finishing his career with 370, eighth in program history.
