==Early life==
Phillips, a native of the North Central section of Detroit, Michigan, grew up in a rough neighborhood. His father, Virgil, wanted to keep him off the streets, so he created a program called REACH (an acronym for religion, education, athletics, character and hope) where Rashad and others could go to play basketball and stay out of trouble.〔 Later, when he was a senior at college, Phillips said, "I thank God every day for giving me a father who did the things he did for me... I've seen a lot of people fall victim to the streets, but that was never an option for me. I always had a gym to go to. What my father has done has saved so many lives."〔
In the fall of 1992, Rashad Phillips entered Ferndale High School in Ferndale, Michigan as a freshman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Rashad Phillips Skills Unlimited )〕 At first he was told he was too small to be a basketball player, but he quickly proved he could play despite his stature and ended up becoming one of the first four-year varsity starters in school history.〔 By the time Phillips was a senior in 1995–96 he had only grown to . Phillips, however, still averaged approximately 25 points, seven assists and four steals per game en route to being named Oakland County's best player.〔 He was also invited to play in the Magic Roundball Classic, an annual all-star high school basketball game where the best players in the country are selected to participate.〔 The game was held at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit and Phillips earned the game's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award after out-performing Kobe Bryant.〔 Bryant was the number one high school recruit at the time and would be a first round draft choice in the 1996 NBA Draft just three months later. Phillips' performance caused him to become a heavily recruited prospect, but by then he had already committed to play at the University of Detroit Mercy.〔
