“I want to sincerely thank Al for his contributions for all of the years of service,” said Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie. “Al’s been involved with some of the best moments in the history of this franchise. We wish him the very best going forward. We’ll always consider him a great friend the Kings.”

The longtime strength and conditioning coach was responsible for developing and monitoring the club’s weight and aerobic conditioning programs, while working closely with the training staff and doctors in monitoring player injury rehabilitation.

“My experience with the Kings has been nothing but a positive one,” explained Biancani. “I’ve enjoyed myself tremendously. I wanted to spend more time with my family, plus my training and athlete rehabilitation business is growing faster than I anticipated. I needed to devote more time to those two areas and felt this was the perfect time to retire. The Kings are a first-class organization. I’ll always have fond memories of the people and the athletes.”

Prior to joining the Kings, the 64-year-old Biancani served as the head track and field coach at California State University, Stanislaus (1976-82), where his athletes garnered 86 All-America awards.

Biancani earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in physical education from California State University, Sacramento. He garnered a doctorate degree in physical education from Utah State University.

In 2003, Biancani received the Outstanding Alumni Award for Health and Human Services from his alma mater, Sacramento State.

A native of Sacramento, Biancani and his wife, Velaree, are the proud parents of four adult children and six grandchildren.
