Carmen Maciariello enters his first season as an assistant men's basketball coach at Fairfield University.

Maciariello comes to Fairfield University after serving as the director of basketball operations at Siena College under Head Coach Fran McCaffery. He spent one season with the Saints in that capacity, beginning with the 2005-06 season. He joined the coaching ranks after a successful playing career in Italy.

Maciariello played with Bignami Castel Maggiore, a professional team in Bologna, Italy in 2002. However, a torn ACL in April of that year forced him out of the lineup. He later signed with GS Basket Massafra in the Italian Minor League where he averaged 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. In 2003, Maciariello moved to the Professional League with Virtus Ragusa in Sicily. He averaged four points and 15 minutes per game.

One year later, Maciariello declined a two-year contract from the professional team Cimberrio Novara to return to the United States and pursue a coaching career.

As a student athlete, Maciariello spent three years at the University of New Hampshire, where he served as team captain during his junior year (1998-99). During his stay, he was named to the program's Defensive Player of the Year in 1998. In 1999, Maciariello was named to the Mohegan Sun All-Tournament team as well as the New Mexico Inter Cable Classic All-Tournament Team.

He transferred to Siena College for his senior season, but had to sit out the 1999-2000 campaign per NCAA residency policy. He returned to the court the following year and helped the Saint to a 20-win season, and a share of the MAAC regular-season championship. He received the Rev. Benjamin Kuhn Student-Athlete Award following the season.

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 17 and under team. In October, 2007 began as a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch in their Paths of Achievement program.
