Coaching career

After graduating from Cal Baptist, he joined the staff of his alma mater as an assistant and junior varsity head coach, a position he held for two seasons. In 1990, he spent one season as the head women's basketball coach at Hartnell College before moving on to Dartmouth College, where he served as an assistant from 1991 to 2002. Maker also had stops at Samford, West Virginia, and Creighton as an assistant before landing the men's head coaching job at Division III Williams College.

Williams (2008–2014)

In his six seasons at Williams, Maker guided the Ephs to a 147–32 record (.821 winning percentage), and three Final Four appearances, including the title game in 2010 and 2014.

Marist (2014–2018)

On June 17, 2014, Maker was named the 11th head coach in Marist Red Foxes men's basketball history, replacing Jeff Bower, who left to become the general manager of the NBA's Detroit Pistons. After a 28-97 record over four seasons, Maker was fired from Marist in 2018.
