Arkansas Adds Matt White to MBB Staff

FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman announced the addition of Matt White as the men’s basketball senior advisor to the head coach.

White, a businessman and leadership author, worked in a similar capacity at Nevada during Musselman’s four seasons with the Wolf Pack (2015-2019). In that span, Nevada won a CBI Championship, played in three NCAA Tournaments, won three Mountain West championships and won 24-plus games each year. After Musselman left, White went on to become Chairman of the Advisory Board for Friends of The Pack, the first significant name, image, and likeness collective supporting men’s and women’s sports at Nevada.

“I’ve known Matt for a long time and he was a valuable part of our team success at Nevada,” Musselman said. “He has great leadership qualities, has a unique analytical mind and, as a successful businessman, brings a different perspective to our program and into our staff meetings. He will be an excellent mentor to our entire staff and help with their development personally and professionally.”

Since, 2005, White has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Basin Street Properties. Basin Street is a fully integrated commercial real estate investment company committed to creating a superior tenant experience. The company owns and manages over five million square feet of commercial real estate in Northern California and Northern Nevada.

In 2016, White authored and published the business leadership book, Leading With Courage: Daily Reminders for the Decision Maker.

White earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Boston University (1993).

White’s past community involvement includes coaching his children’s – Emily and Zach – high school basketball teams, serving on the Board of Trustees of Lake Tahoe School and supporting other regional high school and college athletics programs and children’s charities. He is also an avid cyclist, skier and golfer.
