Golfweek: Phil Working As ASU "Interim Assistant Coach"

Great stuff from Lance Ringler explaining how Phil Mickelson can be making recruiting calls on behalf of Arizona State, where his brother Tim is the head men's coach. (Australian junior golf Ryan Ruffels got a call recently, reported David Polkinghorne in the Sydney Morning Herald).

Turns out, Phil is beefing up his van-driving skills under the rarely used "Interim Assistant" role. Ringler writes:

The appointment will place the older Mickelson on the coaching staff and allow him to operate under the same rules as a staff member or a coach – they are different rules than those of an alumni. It allows Phil Mickelson to be more involved with the program in areas of recruiting, and even allows him to be with the team on a daily basis. Don’t expect to see Mickelson driving the cart and handing out snacks, but this does allow him to be involved in the same way any coach can – including making phone calls to recruits. The extent of Mickelson’s coaching responsibilities are uncertain.

Please, please someone Tweet a photo of Phil in a cart handing out waters to the lads!
