Tee Butters
- Title:
- Associate Head Coach/General Manager
Thomas “Tee” Butters enters his first season as an associate head coach/general manager at Providence College.
Most recently, Butters was an associate head basketball coach at the University of South Florida for the 2025-26 season. He helped the Bulls capture the AAC Regular Season and Conference Tournament titles after posting a 25-9 mark. The squad also earned the Bulls’ first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2012.
Prior to USF, Butters served as associate head coach at Arkansas State for the 2024-25 season, also under Hodgson. He was also a Red Wolves’ assistant coach during the 2023-24 campaign. Before his time in Jonesboro, he spent nine seasons at Charleston Southern, including four as associate head coach, where he played a key role in player development, recruiting, and game strategy.
During his tenure at Charleston Southern, Butters was instrumental in developing standout players such as Phlandrous Fleming Jr., the Big South Defensive Player of the Year who later played at Florida, and Claudell Harris Jr., one of the Big South’s top scorers at the time. His expertise in working with guards helped produce multiple All-Big South selections. During his tenure, he assisted with notable wins over Power 4 teams, Ole Miss and Missouri.
Before Charleston Southern, Butters began his coaching career at Clemson, where he was a student manager and graduate assistant under Oliver Purnell and Brad Brownell. He assisted with player development, recruiting operations, and academic support. His experience also includes coaching at Riverside High School in Durham, North Carolina, and working at elite basketball camps, including those run by Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski at Duke.
Recognized as a rising name in the coaching profession, Butters was among 12 participants selected for the prestigious Jay Bilas Coaches Leadership Program in 2022.
A 2011 Clemson graduate, Butters comes from a strong basketball lineage as the grandson of former Duke athletic director Tom Butters, who famously hired Krzyzewski in 1980. He and his wife, Lauren, have two sons, Thomas and Hudson.
