Little coached the Rainbows from 1976 to 1985, and his 103 wins rank third in Hawaii history. In the early 1970s, Little was the coach at Centenary College in Shreveport, La., where he recruited NBA great Robert Parrish to play for the Gents.
Little was a close friend of late UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian.
