Carmen Maciariello
	Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 2nd season Alma Mater: Siena '01

A former player with experience in the America East and abroad, Carmen Maciariello enters his second season on head coach Joe Jones' staff after joining the squad on Aug. 17, 2011.

"Carmen is a rising star who in a short amount of time has been able to build up his resume working with some great coaches," Jones said of his hiring. "He's a talented recruiter who played a big hand in helping Fairfield and Siena build up their programs."

Spending three years as an assistant at Fairfield, Maciariello followed head coach Ed Cooley to Providence in the Spring of 2011 as the new director of basketball operations before moving to BU.

While at Fairfield, he was the lead recruiter for MAAC All-Rookie Team member Maurice Barrow. He also helped the Stags post a school-record 25 wins and capture a Metro Atlantic regular season title in 2010-11. The team finished with a 25-8 mark and advanced to the second round of the NIT. In 2009-10, Fairfield recorded a 23-11 mark and earned the team's first postseason berth since 2003.

Prior to coaching at Fairfield, Maciariello served as the director of basketball operations at Siena for head coach Fran McCaffery. He spent the 2005-06 season with the Saints where he was integral in the team landing Kenny Hasbrouck and Edwin Ubiles - two of the top players in the history of the MAAC.

He joined the coaching ranks after a successful playing career in Italy. During college, he attended the University of New Hampshire for three seasons. He served as team captain during his junior year (1998-99) and earned the team's Defensive Player of the Year honor in 1998. Before his senior year, he transferred to Siena, helping the Saints post a 20-win season and win a share of the MAAC regular-season title in 2000-01.

Off the court, Maciariello worked as a one-on-one aid for children with special needs. He also spent time as vice president and coach of the Albany City Rocks, an Elite Nike travel team. With the Albany City Rocks, Maciariello coached Jimmer Fredette (BYU), Mark Lyons (Xavier), and Talor Battle (Penn State), as well as many more top Division I players.
