He was named to that position prior to the 2013 season. Littlewood was a third baseman at Brigham Young University, earning All-Conference as both a junior and senior. He was drafted in the 27th round of the 1988 MLB Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers and played one season at Class-A Beloit Brewers.
Shortly after his playing career ended, Littlewood accepted the head coaching position at Alta High School in Sandy, Utah.
He remained for three seasons before moving to Dixie State, then a junior college in Saint George, Utah. Dixie State transitioned to the Division II level under Littlewood in 2007.
Littlewood also served during this time as an National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball referee, working three National Collegiate Athletic Association Sweet 16s and two Elite 8s. After being a finalist for the Brigham Young University head coaching position in 2000, when Vance Law earned the job, Littlewood was hired at Brigham Young University prior to the 2013 season.
In his first season, the Cougars tied for second in the West Coast Conference and qualified for the first WCC Tournament.
