Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has accepted a volunteer role as the first president of basketball strategy at his alma mater, the University of Colorado, amid rumors of a trade. White aims to help the Buffaloes return to the NCAA tournament, contributing $2 million to the program while acknowledging his limited knowledge of college athletics. His hiring is part of a trend where former NBA players assist their old schools, leveraging their star power for recruiting. Colorado hopes to benefit from White’s experience as an NBA champion and local native to navigate the challenges of college basketball.
