Hayden White has been hired as the new assistant men’s basketball coach at University of the Ozarks.
White, of Centerton, spent the last two seasons at nationally-ranked Dallas Baptist University as a graduate assistant. The Patriots posted their best season in program history winning the Lone Star Conference East Division Championships and advancing the NCAA Division II Tournament a year ago. The Patriots finished with a 25-6 record last season.
“We are very lucky to have filled our assistant position not only in a timely manner but with a very qualified candidate,” said head coach Matt Bolton. “Hayden not only has deep ties in Arkansas, but has learned under a first-class staff at Dallas Baptist University the last two years. We are fortunate to have him on staff and I am confident he will be an asset in multiple facets of our program.”
Prior to DBU, White served as a student assistant coach at Henderson State University for four seasons. White was part of the 2019-2020 team that won the GAC Conference Tournament. White’s other experience includes holding the position of gold camp coach for USA Basketball where he led USAB Gold camps in Houston.
