TweetKey player for Ohio Wesleyan is deaf
From the Columbus Dispatch:
DELAWARE, Ohio - In fall 2009, Ohio Wesleyan men’s basketball coach Mike DeWitt noticed that Greg White wasn’t paying attention during a preseason practice.
“I figured Greg was just another player who wasn’t going to listen to me,” DeWitt said, smiling. “I thought, ‘He’s going to fit in really well here.’”
Later that day, center Billy Reilich, who has known White since third grade in Centerville, told DeWitt that White was deaf.
DeWitt was taken aback. Had he not scouted White at Centerville High School and talked with his coach? Had he not given the White family a tour of campus? Had he not conversed with White face to face many times?
“Billy said, ‘Greg can hear, but sometimes you have to look right at him when you talk because he reads lips,’” DeWitt said. “Greg was too shy to bring it up.”
