My uncle passed away earlier this mont h. And the tributes to this wonderful man have been pouring in like a soothing rain. White was USC’s first African-American coach in any sport, but his greatest impact on the school and on hundreds of its athletes came after he left that role to become an academic advisor for the team and then build from scratch the athletic depar
