Meet Donald White And Bonita White
Coby White’s father, Donald White, was also a basketball player. He played college basketball at North Carolina Central for a short period.
White’s mother, Bonita White, is a manager in an insurance company. White also has two siblings. His brother, Will, also played basketball and is currently placed as an assistant coach at Mars Hill University.
Coby’s father, Donald White, died of liver cancer on Aug. 15, 2017. Donald was the first person to put a basketball in Coby’s hands.
He would take Coby as a 2-year-old to watch Will play AAU basketball as far away as Florida, Nevada, and Tennessee. Back home, Coby would try to replicate his brother’s moves on his Nerf hoop.
