Under Whittington's leadership, the Hinds Bulldogs finished the 2021-22 season 10-15 overall and 8-6 in conference play. Along with his coaching duties, he served as the recruiting coordinator for the Bulldogs and began to build relationships with high school coaches and stand-out players from across the Southeast United States.

Prior to his season at Hinds, Whittington began his coaching career at Madison Central High School, where he served as an assistant coach.
