In 1993, Spinelli started the basketball program at The Winchendon School in Winchendon, Massachusetts. He led them to two appearances in the NEPSAC Class A Tournament championship game. Spinelli also produced numerous Division I players at Winchendon, including former McDonald's All-American Randell Jackson, who played in the NBA with the Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks.[4]

In 1996, Spinelli joined the college ranks as an assistant coach at Wyoming for a single season before joining the coaching staff at American from 1997–1999. In 2000, he became a scout for the Philadelphia 76ers, where he spent one season before returning to the college level where he served as an assistant coach at Loyola-Chicago, before joining Barry Collier's staff at Nebraska, where he was part of a pair of NIT berths.[5]

In 2006, Spinelli joined Mark Turgeon's staff at Spinelli then served as an assistant coach at Wichita State for a single season before following Turgeon to Texas A&M.[6][7] During his four years with the Aggies, the team won 102 games, and earned four-straight NCAA tournament berths. When Turgeon accepted the head coaching position at Maryland, Spinelli once again followed him, joining his staff.[8][9]
