Title:
Graduate Assistant

Filippo Sacripanti is in his first season as a graduate assistant with the Grand Canyon men’s basketball program in 2026-27 after serving multiple seasons as an undergraduate student manager for the Lopes.

Sacripanti joined the program in January 2023 and advanced to head manager. In that role, he oversaw the student manager staff and assisted the coaching staff with practice and game preparation.

Before arriving at GCU, Sacripanti worked as a video analyst for Pallacanestro Cantù in Italy during the 2021-22 season. His experience with the professional club helped him transition from playing basketball to pursuing a career in coaching and basketball operations.

Sacripanti played in Pallacanestro Cantù’s youth program before shifting his focus toward coaching and video analysis.

Sacripanti earned his bachelor’s degree in sports studies from GCU in 2026. He also represented Indonesia as a delegate at the Change the World Model United Nations conference in Singapore in 2024.
