Calvin Whipple

Assistant Coach for Boys' & Girls' Basketball

A native of Leominster, Massachusetts, Whipple joins MAI after a five-year professional playing career that took him to seven countries across Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas. He will work alongside Prep Head Coach Naadir Tharpe, focusing on player development and skill instruction for MAI’s boys and girls basketball programs.

Before beginning his professional career, Whipple starred at Northfield Mount Hermon School under MAI Director of Basketball John Carroll, helping lead the program to two NEPSAC AAA Championships while tying the school’s all-time wins record in a season and for a career. A McDonald’s All-American nominee, he went on to earn a Division I scholarship to Fairfield University, where he graduated in just three years with a degree in marketing from the Dolan School of Business.

Whipple enters coaching after eight years competing at the Division I and professional levels. In addition to his playing career, he has worked with prep school, collegiate, professional and NBA athletes on individual skill development, bringing a modern player-development approach to MAI.
