Carmen Maciariello

Carmen Maciariello Jr. (born May 27, 1978) is a former Italian-American basketball player and college basketball coach. He is the current head coach of the Siena Saints men's basketball team.

Maciariello played high school basketball at Shenendehowa High School where he led the school to a Section II Championship, while also being named Albany Times Union Player of the Year. He played his college basketball for three years at New Hampshire where he averaged 8.8 points per game in 77 career games before transferring to Siena for his final season of eligibility.

After graduation, Maciariello obtained Italian citizenship and professional basketball in Italy for four seasons.

Maciariello's first coaching opportunity came with his alma mater as the director of basketball operations at Siena under Fran McCaffery in his first season at the helm. He then went on to work with the Albany City Rocks AAU program until returning to the college coaching ranks in 2008 at Fairfield under Ed Cooley. He'd follow Cooley briefly to Providence to serve as the director of operations, but would ultimately take an assistant coaching position at Boston University in that same offseason. After two years at BU, Maciariello joined the staff at George Washington, where he was on staff for the Colonials' 2016 NIT Championship.

In 2018, Maciariello returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach under Jamion Christian. He was elevated to head coach on March 25, 2019 after Christian accepted the head coaching position at George Washington, making him the 18th head coach in Siena basketball history.
