Matt Moore joined the Miami tennis staff in August 2023 as an Assistant Coach. In 2025, Miami captured the Mid-American Conference Regular Season Championship after finishing as the conference and tournament runner-up in 2024. During his time at Miami, Moore played a critical role in coaching three First Team All-MAC selections. He helped to coach 2025 MAC Player of the Year Catherine Densyiewicz, and 2025 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Award recipient Sarah Dev.

This helped Butler achieve two of the winningest seasons since 2009. His student-athletes earned the APR Public Recognition Award for Academic Performance (2018 and 2019).
