"Coach Carter is a proven high-level coach with a track record of top-notch recruiting and player development. It was a clear decision for me to contact him and ask him to join our team here at FPU. I know how much passion and energy he has for coaching and how tireless of a worker he is.  There is no doubt that he will quickly have a positive impact on the direction of our program. I am thrilled for what he brings to the table as a seasoned coach and even more excited for the players in our program and how much he will do for them both on and off the court." – head coach Tim Beauregard
