Local boys basketball coach named USA TODAY's coach of year

ALL-USA BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM COACH OF THE YEAR: Sharman White, Miller Grove, Lithonia, Ga.

Why him? Coached his team to a state-record sixth consecutive title. His team rallied after the preseason death of freshman Terrell "Too Tall" Coleman, who collapsed during an all-star game. White has been the basketball coach and athletic director at Miller Grove since the school opened in 2005.
