Fabrizio Frates (Milan, July 16, 1959) is an Italian basketball coach.

Career

Cantù & Treviso

Frates become head coach of Clear Cantù just over in his thirty years, in the 1990-91 season and won the FIBA Korać Cup that year ( 1990–91 FIBA Korać Cup), defeating in a double final, the Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid. In the 1993-94 season he moved to Benetton Treviso where he won the Italian Cup against Glaxo Verona (78:61 score) and simultaneously participated for his first time in the FIBA European League but failed to lead his team (which incidentally was this competition finalist of the previous season in Athens) beyond the group stage at 16.

In the following years become head coach of several basketball clubs, including the Panapesca Montecatini Sporting Basketball Club (1995–96), Aresium Milano license plate Blue Club, Pallacanestro Gorizia where he won the promotion for serie A1, Ducato Siena, Snaidero Udine and Pallacanestro Reggiana.

In Reggio Emilia

Frattes arrived in Reggio Emilia in the 2003-04 season, replacing Luca Dalmonte, and immediately won a series of incredible victories, hitting the arrival in the playoffs that the team from Emilia win, winning promotion to the top flight. The Frates team consisted of players of the caliber Kiwane Garris, Alvin Young, Ray Tutt, Marcelo Damião, the experience of Claudio Pol Bodetto, and talented young people like Marco Stain and Angelo Gigli.
The red and white leadership can not but reaffirm the Milan coach for next season, 2004-05 disputandola in the top division. Frates for this season will be full of successes, starting especially from the confirmations of Garris (which will then be elected one of the best players in the league), Damião, Stain and Gigli (season in which young talents of the white and the nursery will be noticeable from different teams league), the important grafts Paul McPherson, Sam Hines, Ken Lacey, the addition expert's point guard Stephen Attruia, and youth passed from the nursery to the first team as Giorgio Boscagin and Franco Best.
The Frates Emilian team wins a lot of games, especially at home with the support of the public, and can amazingly to qualify for the men's basketball Final Eight Italian Cup, a historic achievement, which Frates also added victories in the quarterfinals and semifinals, winning the final played and lost 74-64 against the team Treviso full of champions coached by Ettore Messina. Frates still managed to lead the team to the ULEB Cup, but not in the playoffs.
There is still a season on the bench of Reggio Emilia, where he surrounds himself with new and talented players. Frates, deemed to be able to find out from various nurseries of young players with a great future society, has the merit of having gambled and focused on new Italian and American prospects as Terrell McIntyre, Ricky Minard, Benjamin Ortner, Marco Carra, Luca Infante, Brett Blizzard and especially of Angelo Gigli and Giorgio Boscagin. In Europe he manages to dominate their group and reach the quarterfinals where it is defeated by the Serbian Hemofarm Vrsac. The team from Emilia, however, pays the false start in the league and therefore does not get into the playoffs, but without ever being considered among the teams in the struggle for salvation. The following year Frates is no longer the coach of Reggiana Basketball. During the years when he coached the basketball team of Reggio Emilia, always carried on the bench for the first team the young Nicolo Melli, which then made his debut and would explode in later years.

Experience with Fortitudo

Courted by many Italian teams, Fortitudo Bologna is to make sure the Milan coach. The experience proves to be negative, despite a roster of high-level players with the caliber of Marco Belinelli, Stefano Mancinelli, Daniele Cavaliero (with these talented young people could continue the ambitious project of exploitation of players managed perfectly in Reggio Emilia) and players experts like Tyus Edney and Preston Shumpert. But the relationship with the Bologna-based company culminating with his exemption in the current season. Reports idyllic with the leadership they wrecked the adventure began with much enthusiasm by the same Frates, eager to lead a team that made the Euroleague, but ended in the worst way. It ends even in the case, accused of blaspheming during
