Monmouth University Women's Basketball Head Coach Jenny Palmateer announced the addition of Janet Butler as an assistant coach in August of 2017.
“I am excited to have Janet join my staff,” stated Palmateer. “She brings knowledge, enthusiasm and a strong work ethic which will help our program as we continue to move forward.”
As a member of the women’s basketball team at Louisiana College, Butler was a co-captain for a team that was nationally ranked in the Top 25 polls in both 2010 and 2011, years in which they also advanced to the NCAA DIII National Tournament during those seasons. Butler’s teams were also Regular Season American Southwest Conference Champions in 2010 and 2011.
Most recently, Butler served as an assistant coach at the University of Nevada. She was elevated to that role in July of 2015, after serving as the Director of Operations from 2013-2015 and as a Graduate Assistant from 2012-2013. Butler earned her Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Nevada in 2014.
In her time prior to Monmouth, Butler assisted in recruiting initiatives, on-court player development, marketing and promotions, academics, community service, camps and clinics, equipment, and social media.
