Peter Joseph Carril (born July 10, 1930) is an American former basketball coach. He is best known for his time as head coach of Princeton University and his use of the 'Princeton offense'. He also coached at Lehigh University and in the NBA as an assistant with the Sacramento Kings.
Carril was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the son of Spanish immigrants to the United States. He is a graduate of Liberty High School in Bethlehem, where he was an all-state selection for Pennsylvania in the 1947–48 season. He played collegiate basketball at Lafayette College under Butch Van Breda Kolff. While at Lafayette he became a member of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity. Following graduation from college in 1952, Carril served in the United States Army; the Korean War was ceasing just when he was ordered to Korea, so Carril served as a public information officer after the war. In 1954, Carril became junior varsity basketball coach and ninth grade Pennsylvania history teacher at Easton High School in Easton, Pennsylvania. In 1958, Carril became varsity coach at Reading High School, where Gary Walters, the former Princeton Athletic Director, and former Princeton point guard, played basketball under him in high school.
