Former WMU big man turned coach, known for size, rebounding, and rim protection
Whittington is no longer a current player for Western Michigan; he returned to the Broncos in 2024 as an assistant coach after a pro career, where his value as a 6'11" frontcourt presence was built on rebounding, shot blocking, and efficient interior play. In college he finished with 1,119 points, 737 rebounds, and 130 blocks, with the blocks ranking third in WMU history, which points to a dependable, physical, defense-first big. If you want a rangy paint anchor with experience and toughness, he fits the profile—just not as an on-court roster addition.[2][5][1]
