Gene White was one of the original members of the 1954 Milan, Indiana championship basketball team that inspired the film Hoosiers.

At 5'11" White played center for the Milan Indians. White's family owned a local feed store, and his mother sold some of the family's chickens to fund a trip to Indianapolis for the state championship. White went on to attend Franklin College where he later taught mathematics and coached basketball. White also taught second-level algebra and calculus at Franklin Community High School.
