Neosho County Community College

Burton is entering his first year at Neosho County after spending the last two seasons at North Dakota State College of Science, helping lead the Wildcats to a 41-13 record at the NJCAA Division One level. NDSCS finished as the Mon-Dak Conference runner-up twice and the Region XIII runner-up in 2021. In his two seasons, Burton helped develop two NJCAA All-American, two Region XIII MVPs and six All-Region XIII players. He was also 1-0 as a head coach,  upsetting national qualifier Dawson Community College while filling in for Hall of Fame coach Stu Engen.

 

Prior to his time at NDSCS, Burton was the head coach at Lockwood (MO) High School where the Tigers finished as the district runner-up. For the better part of a decade, Burton was also affiliated with AAU basketball program Victory Ministry (2017-2021) and NCAA D2 program Drury University (2013-16). Victory saw more than 30 players sign a National Letter of Intent in that time. At Drury - assisting Steve Huber and Molly Miller on a volunteer basis - Burton helped the program to a 79-13 record in three seasons, which included a Midwest Regional championship, a GLVC Tournament championship and three NCAA Tournament berths. 

 

Burton is a graduate of Missouri State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Socio-Political Communications.
