Isaiah Butler will be entering his fourth season as the assistant coach of the women's basketball team at Coahoma Community College. Butler greatly assisted head coach Stephanie Murphy by ensuring the team had a successful year. Butler is in charge of the strength and conditioning workouts for the team. His unique workouts assisted with the girls' overall performance, resulting in the team being runners-up at the MACJC Region 23 Tournament finals, Co State Champions, and North division champions.

Formerly a graduate assistant for the Mississippi College Lady Choctaws, he comes to CCC with a high expectation of shifting the atmosphere alongside head coach Stephanie Murphy and instilling a spirit of excellence and dedication, which he is confident will lead to the program’s success.
