Louisiana Welcomes Josh White to Men’s Basketball Staff

Is this allowed by state nepotism laws? I remember the Lotiefs had to be co-head coaches because of that law.

I spoke to someone in the know about this yesterday. Turns out there is a little known exception to the nepotism rule. That exception is for High School and college coaches. I don't know how long that exception has been in place. Perhaps we could have had family members of the head coach be on staff in the past had we been aware of the exception.

Meredith Hall was on staff prior to the one year she, was named co-head coach.

Meredith Hall was on staff prior to the one year she, was named co-head coach.

Meredith Hall may have been an unpaid staff member before becoming the co head coach with her husband. I don't know the year nepotism law went into effect. I learned something else yesterday to confirm the exception for coaches. As Southeastern Louisiana, the softball coach has his wife as the lead assistant on the staff. Regardless, there is no doubt we are within legal bounds by having Josh White work for Quannas White on our staff.
