Green, the A-10 Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007 and 2008 as well as the 2008 GCAA Eaton Golf Pride South Region Coach of the Year in 2008, also has built a strong academic reputation.

Jon Whithaus joined the Duke golf program as an associate head coach in July of 2009 after a 13-year head coaching stint at Ohio Wesleyan and Director of the Central Ohio Golf Academy. Whithaus has also been an instructor at over 50 sessions of youth golf camps at various universities.
Whithaus, a seven-time North Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, led the Bishops to 11 straight NCAA Division III Championships appearances with six top 10 finishes in the last eight trips. He also guided Ohio Wesleyan to eight NCAC championships in the last 10 years. In his final season at Ohio Wesleyan his team finished tied for sixth at the NCAA Championship, extending a string of national top-10 finishes to six of the seven years.
Under Whithaus's guidance, Chad Poling won medalist honors at the 2004 NCAA Division III tournament that year, giving the Bishops their first-ever national champion in golf; and 2009 graduate Jeff Nieman became the first 4-time All-American in school history.
Whithaus was a two-time All-America Scholar and All-NCAC honoree, while earning three letters in golf during his Bishop career. He helped the Bishops to a string of four straight North Coast Athletic Conference titles and three straight top-3 finishes in the NCAA Division III championship. Whithaus helped Ohio Wesleyan to a third-place finish at the NCAA Division III championship as a sophomore, at the time the school’s best-ever finish in the national tournament, and then helped the Bishops top that finish with a second-place tie in 1990. Duke head coach Jamie Green and Whithaus were teammates at Ohio Wesleyan during the 1990 and 1991 seasons.
In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Whithaus served as an assistant athletic director for facility management at Ohio Wesleyan for the past five years. He was also the Director of Instruction at Oakhaven Golf Club and a committee member for the Gordin Collegiate Classic, one of the most prestigious Division III tournaments in the nation.
