Carl Molinaro

My coaching career started on the court, as a constant leader of my teams growing up. I started with youth basketball camps, then transitioned to coaching middle school, and eventually boys varsity. Now I am an assistant at the college prep level with Fred Hill at Compass Basketball Academy where I do individual and team workouts.

I was a 4 year varsity starter at Seabury Hall in Hawaii, where I led my team to 4 straight division championships and trips to the state tournament. I then moved on to be a scout player for Marist Women’s basketball at Marist University.

I start at the very bottom. Whether it’s the base of your jumpshot or the fundamentals of handling the ball, I always start with a conversation about where your game is and what needs to improve. Efficiency is everything, so figuring out what we need to work on before stepping on the court allows us to get the most out of our time training. I always break down teachings step by step, then all together slowly, then finally game speed, so you can grasp each little nuance to the game and separate yourself as a player. We will go deep into 1 topic and focus and all aspects of that topic, rather than trying to cover all bases in 1 day. Good reps are the most important aspect of improvement, and we will get a lot of those in whatever time we have.
