Marco Carraretto (born October 27, 1977 in Treviso , Veneto ) is an Italian basketball player . Carraretto won an Italian championship at the beginning of his professional career with his home club from Treviso . He then played for various clubs, including two years in Spain . In 2006 he returned to Italy and played for seven years for Montepaschi Siena, with whom he won the championship every year. With eight titles in the Italian championship, Carraretto is one of the most successful players behind personalities like Dino Meneghin and Sandro Gamba . In the 2013/14 season he played another season for Tezenis Verona in the second-rate Divisione Nazionale A Gold .

Career

In the 1996/97 season Carraretto moved up under coach Mike D'Antoni in the squad of the professional men's team Benetton of his home club from Treviso, which was then a top European team. He had two short appearances when Benetton won the national championship for the second time in five years at the end of the season. The following season, Carraretto moved to the Bears in Mestre , who were then playing in the third-tier Serie B before they were incorporated by Reyer Venezia ten years later . With this club, Carraretto only narrowly missed promotion to the second division in the 1999 play-off final series of Serie B. Carraretto, however, rose by moving to Snaidero in Udine , with whom he reached a sixth place after the regular season in the A2 series with a balanced season record . In the play-offs they still managed to get promoted when they only suffered one defeat. In the A1 series , Udine immediately reached seventh place in the play-offs for the championship, in which they were eliminated in the first round. At Udine Carraretto did not get past an average playing time of a good ten minutes per game and so he moved to Verona to Müller Scaligera for the 2001/02 season , where his playing time practically doubled to over 20 minutes per game. The Korać Cup , however, winner in 1998 Müller Verona received after the 15th place at the end of the season for economic reasons no license. Carraretto, who had played in Verona in the extended circle of the Italian men's national team, moved from northeast Italy to Lauretana from Biella in Piedmont . In the first season still a role player, Carraretto was one of the top performers of the team in the 2003/04 season with an average of almost twelve points in 28 minutes playing time per game, but in eleventh place in 2004 again missed the leap among the best eight teams in Italy. End of the season in mid April 2004 Carraretto therefore left the team and changed for the championship play-offs in the Spanish ACB league for the Basque club TAU Cerámica of Vitoria-Gasteiz . However, the cup winner and first round winner surprisingly lost the play-off semi-final series against CB Estudiantes from the capital.

Carraretto stayed in Spain for the 2004/05 season and played for Leche Río Breogán from Lugo in Galicia , who improved to eleventh place in the ACB with 13 wins this season. In the following season it was only enough to win eleven of the season, which, however, meant the last place in the table and relegation. Carraretto then returned to his Italian homeland in 2006 at the age of 29 and played in Tuscany for Montepaschi from Siena , who, despite two semi-finals in the top European club competition ULEB Euroleague, have so far only had one national title with the 2004 championship. In the following seven years, Carraretto formed with an average playing time of no more than 15 minutes per game as a role player behind changing, mostly American star players, an important part of the team, which could hardly be defeated in Italy. In the 2006/07 season, defending champion Benetton Treviso had to accept a point deduction for rule violations and the way was clear for Siena, who won the title in Italy after only four defeats in the regular season and one in the play-offs. In the ULEB Euroleague 2007/08 you reached the Final Four again , which you finished in third place after a victory over Carraretto's former team TAU Cerámica. In the Italian championship they defended the title after only three defeats in the regular season and one in the final series. In the following season 2008/09 they won after winning the title in the national cup competition "Coppa Italia" for the first time the double with only one defeat in the championship. After two defeats in the championship, Siena won the double again in 2010 and defended it the following year when they again took third place in the ULEB Euroleague 2010/11 . At the 2011 European Championship finals , Carraretto was just 34 years old for the first time in an Italian final squad, but the team disappointed when they were eliminated after the preliminary round after four defeats against Germany, among others, and only one victory over the winless Latvians . Like in 2009 against title winner Panathinaikos Athens, Siena was eliminated in the quarter-final play-offs of the ULEB Euroleague 2011/12 against eventual title winner Olympiacos . The financial means of the main sponsor were then largely exhausted and so it was not even enough to participate in the quarter-finals in the ULEB Euroleague 2012/13 . Only in fifth place of the regular season did the team reach the play-offs of the Italian championship, in which you had to go over the maximum distance of seven games in the first two rounds in order to ultimately win the double in the final series for the fifth time in a row . Then the team broke up and the almost 36-year-old Carraretto also left the club. In the 2013/14 season he played another season in the new second division Divisione Nazionale A Gold for Tezenis Scaligera Basket Verona, who had fought their way back to the professional divisions after the collapse in 2002. However, Tezenis missed promotion to Serie A as the main round third in the semi-final series of the play-offs.
