Mitch Buonaguro (born December 4, 1953) is an American college basketball coach and current assistant men's basketball coach at Fairfield University.
Buonaguro was the head coach at Fairfield University from 1985 to 1991. During his first season, he coached the Stags to its first MAAC Championship, first berth in NCAA Tournament where the Stags faced the Illinois Fighting Illini in the first round; and ended the year with a 24–7 record, the most wins in school history. As a result, his MAAC coaching peers recognized him as the 1985–86 MAAC Coach of the Year. The following season, Buonaguro coached Fairfield through an injured-plaqued season to mount an improbable run to its second consecutive MAAC Championship and to earn its second consecutive bid to the NCAA Tournament where the Stags faced the top-seeded and eventual national champion Indiana Hoosiers in the first round.
Buonaguro was named the 15th head coach in Siena history on April 8, 2010 after being the lead assistant at Siena the past five years for previous coach Fran McCaffery. After posting a 35-59 record in three seasons Buonaguro was dismissed from Siena on March 12, 2013.
