Jones College champion CJ White joins NOC Enid as assistant coach

Northern Oklahoma College Enid has hired CJ White as its head assistant men’s basketball coach, adding a former Jones College national champion to the Jets’ bench for the upcoming season. White announced the move on social media, putting a title-winning background behind a staff move that carries real recruiting and development value.

White’s X profile says he is Gulfport, Mississippi born and raised and that he was an NJCAA national champion in 2013-2014 for Jones College. That championship resume gives NOC Enid a coach who has lived the standard the Jets want to sell to players: daily practice habits, accountability, and the pressure that comes with winning at the junior-college level. In a league where programs rise quickly on player development and transfer traffic, that kind of credibility travels.

The addition also fits White’s recent coaching path. HoopDirt reported in June 2023 that Southern Nazarene University men’s basketball head coach B.J. Foster hired White as an assistant coach, giving him experience on a four-year staff before this move to Enid. That background could help NOC Enid bridge the gap for prospects weighing junior-college development against the next step, especially when a coach has worked in both environments and can speak the language of each.

Northern Oklahoma College Enid’s athletics directory lists Alan Foster as athletic director, and the Jets men’s basketball site includes both a coaches page and a donate link for the program. Those details underscore how much staff additions matter at this level, where program identity is built not just through roster moves but through the people shaping film sessions, practice structure, and the daily demands on players.

For NOC Enid, White is more than a familiar basketball name. He brings a national-title background from Jones College, a recent assistant stop at Southern Nazarene, and a Mississippi recruiting footprint rooted in Gulfport. Those are immediate edges the Jets can use as they prepare for the next season.
