In the 2015–16 school year, Botham was athletic director at Madison West High School in Madison, Wisconsin before leaving amidst allegations of racial discrimination against two coaches.[3] On June 1, 2017, Sheboygan South High School in Sheboygan hired Botham as girls' varsity basketball head coach.[4]
