Sherman White (basketball)
Sherman White (December 16, 1928 – August 4, 2011) was an American college basketball player at Long Island University (LIU) who is best remembered for being indicted in a point shaving scandal that resulted in him being stripped of numerous honors and awards, having to serve an 8-month jail sentence, and being prohibited from ever playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA). As a college senior in 1950–51, White was the nation's leading scorer at 27.7 points per game and was only 77 total points shy of becoming the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) all-time single season leading scorer when he was caught, thus forcing him to prematurely quit and never getting to finish his college basketball career.
==Early life==
White was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but moved to and grew up in Englewood, New Jersey. His father was a certified refrigeration engineer who supported the family while also taking night classes.〔 In the fall of 1943, White began entered Lincoln High School as a freshman. After one year, however, he transferred to Dwight Morrow High School as a sophomore and immediately became the star basketball player under coach Tom Morgan.〔 He felt close to Morgan, would follow his directions well and always heeded his advice.〔 As a senior in 1946–47, White guided Morrow High to an undefeated season (28–0) and a Northeastern High School championship, scored a then-New Jersey prep record 49 points in a single game, and was a unanimous first team all-state selection.〔
Academically, Sherman White was a rather poor student and graduated 230th in a class of 263 students.〔 However, he had an innate ability to recall the names and statistics of the leading college basketball players in the country.〔 Although athletic scholarships were being offered, some of the schools that showed initial interest became wary of his grades and rescinded their offers, such as Duquesne University.〔
