Phillips played college basketball at Snow College for a pair of seasons before finishing his playing career at Lewis-Clark State.[1]

Coaching career

After graduation, Phillips' first college coaching job was as an assistant at Westminster College for eight seasons, before spending another three at Salt Lake Community College.[2] In 2011, Phillips was named the head coach at Salt Lake CC, where in eight seasons he compiled a 205–58 overall record, including winning the NJCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship in 2016.[3][4] During his time at Salt Lake, Phillips coached multiple NCAA Division I players, plus NBA player Gary Payton II.

In 2019, Phillips would join Mark Madsen's coaching staff at Utah Valley, where he became the team's associate head coach and was on staff for two WAC regular season titles, as well as the Wolverines' semifinal run in the 2023 NIT [5][6][7]

April 6, 2023, Phillips was promoted to head coach at Utah Valley when Madsen accepted the head coaching position at Cal.[8][9][10][11][12]
