The Arizona State source profile describes Butler Jr.'s current role and recent program context, including that Dion Miller announced Phillip Butler Jr. as the jumps coach for Arizona State on July 13, 2022. His development at Arizona State has been immeasurable in his short time on campus.
The same profile adds background on Butler Jr.'s coaching path, team results, and player-development record. In the 2023-24 season, Butler developed true freshman Alex Johnson into an NCAA Championship qualifier in the long jump. Both Lee and Robinson-Jones, like Johnson, were among the 19 Sun Devils to qualify for the NCAA West Region Preliminary Round in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Arriving at Arizona State in February 2022 as a volunteer assistant coach, Butler helped in the continued development of two-time Pac-12 Champion Jamar Marshall Jr. (110H), NCAA West Region qualifiers Jalen Drayden (100m), Justin Robinson (400m) and Gamali Felix (400m).
