Nominee's Accomplishments at the High School Level in Kentucky:
There are few in the business of education, who take on the role of mentor, teacher and coach and perform at such a high level through literally five decades; from 1965 through 2009. Working with Coach White for over 20 years, he was a guiding force in the lives of student-athletes, parents and staff. He had an incredible work ethic, demanded excellence and hard work from those around him; where loyalty was always at the forefront. Bill was fiercely competitive and loved to win, but when you lost, there was always a purpose; a message. He taught all of us how to win but how to handle defeat as well. Coach White was not one to blame others, but had developed this posture that the first thing one must do is to reflect in the \\\"mirror\\\" so to speak. \\\"Bill\\\" loved athletics and kids; he loved coaching and over five decades those who were fortunate to be in his inner circle had developed a genuine relationship that would last a lifetime. A winner in sports yet a winner for life.
