Blue Wave Basketball is excited to welcome Elamin Kubari to the program. Kubari currently serves as the Assistant Varsity Coach at Deering High School and brings a wealth of experience across both the high school and collegiate levels.
Prior to his role at Deering, Kubari was an Assistant Coach for the men’s basketball team at NCAA Division III Maine Maritime Academy, where he helped guide the Mariners to multiple double-digit win seasons. During his tenure, he coached standout forward Curt Heinz, a two-time NAC Defensive Player of the Year who led all NCAA divisions (I, II, and III) in rebounding with 15.5 boards per game.
Kubari also served as an Assistant Coach at Central Maine Community College, helping the Mustangs reach the YSCC tournament quarterfinals. His coaching journey began at the high school level, with stops at Yarmouth High School—where he led the First Team and assisted the varsity squad to a Class B quarterfinal appearance—and South Portland High School, where he contributed to a Class AA regional final run in 2018.
Coach Kubari brings a high level of energy, knowledge, and player development experience to the Blue Wave, and we’re thrilled to add his leadership to our staff.
