Dylan Butler enters his third season at the helm of the Hill College volleyball program.

In the 2022-2023 season, Butler led the team to a 20-16 record winning the Region V North Tournament title for the eleventh consecutive year. Butler trained the Region V North Player of the Year, two First Team All-Conference selections, two Second Team All-Conference selections as well as Region V North Tournament MVP, and two named to the All-Region V North Team. Although one win short of the team’s ninth NJCAA National Tournament appearance, the team produced athletes that secured positions in the top five of the Hill College Volleyball All-Time Statistics leaderboard.

In the 2021-2022 season, Butler led the team to an 11-15 finish. Despite the rocky start to the season, he rallied the team to go undefeated in the second half of conference play, going 9-0, winning the Region V North Conference Tournament and earning a bid to the 2021-2022 NJCAA National Tournament where he was named the Southwest District A coach of the year. The 16th-seeded Rebels fell to the number 1-seeded team in the country in the first round. In the second round, the Rebels almost took down the number 8 team in the country but came up short in the fifth set. Coach Butler and the Rebels finished the season as one of the top 16 teams in the country. The 2021 team produced three First Team All-Conference selections, two Second Team All-Conference Selections, Region V North New Comer of the Year, and Region V North Conference Tournament MVP awards. 

 Prior to assuming the head coach role, Butler served as the assistant coach for two seasons. In 2020-2021, Butler assisted the Rebels to a 14-6 overall record, a Region V North Regular Season Conference Title, and a Region V North Conference Tournament Title as well as finishing in the top 20 teams in the country. In 2019-2020, Butler assisted the Rebels to a 20-10 overall record and earned the Region V North Conference Tournament Title, earning a National Tournament Bid, and finishing the season in the top 16 teams in the country. Butler had a key role in the training of two Second Team All-American outside hitters and many First and Second Team All-Conference Selections.

Prior to Hill College, Butler was a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Dallas for the 2018-2019 season. During his time with the Crusaders, Butler assisted the team to a 20-15 overall record - which was the best season record since 2014 - and accomplished a fourth-place finish at the SCAC Conference Championship Tournament. Butler played a key role in the training of the Crusader’s First and Second Team All-Americans and the SCAC First Team All-Conference Selection.

Prior to Butler’s stint at the University of Dallas, he served as an undergraduate assistant at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) for two seasons under head coach Edgar Miraku, where he helped UCO finish with an overall record of 31-5 in 2015, and 30-4 in 2016. 

Butler also served as an undergraduate assistant at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith (UAFS) under head coach Jane Sargent, where he helped UAFS finish with an overall record of 27-8 in 2011. 

Butler played collegiately at Park University in Kansas City, MO, where he was a member of the NAIA National Invitational Championship team in 2014. Prior to transferring to  Park University, Butler played at Missouri Valley College in Marshall, MO, where he assisted the team to an 8th-place national finish.

Dylan is originally from the state of Hawai’i where he grew up playing all forms of volleyball.

Dylan is married to Pamela Butler, a native of Brazil and former Coffeyville Community College volleyball player & single season kill record holder, and Park University Alumni. Dylan and Pamela have a five-year-old daughter named Isabella.
