He helped guide Siena to a second-place MAAC finish and a nine-win improvement from the previous season. Serving as the team's defensive coordinator, Maciariello helped establish one of the conference's top defensive units, with the Saints ranking among the nation's top 50 teams in scoring defense.

Maciariello began his collegiate coaching career at Siena as the director of basketball operations during the 2005-06 season under head coach Fran McCaffery, helping lay the foundation for a program that would go on to capture three consecutive MAAC championships and NCAA Tournament appearances from 2008-10.
Before entering the collegiate coaching ranks, Maciariello served as vice president and head coach of the Albany City Rocks AAU program for two seasons. During that time, he worked with numerous future Division I and professional standouts, including future NBA players Jimmer Fredette and Edwin Ubiles, along with Mark Lyons and Talor Battle.
A 2001 graduate of Siena, Maciariello earned his bachelor's degree in marketing and management, graduating cum laude.
