Butler was coached under John Beilein and Bob Huggins during his four seasons from 2007-10. The 6-foot-7 guard contributed to an NIT Championship in 2007, a Sweet 16 in 2008 and a Final Four appearance in 2010.

Butler will make his NBA G-League coaching debut on Nov. 5 when the College Park Skyhawks take on the Maine Celtics.
