Coaching career

Carter was hoping for a back-up point guard spot with Melbourne United for the 2018–19 season, but when that didn't eventuate the team offered him a role as both team manager and shadow coach. For the 2019–20 season, he was promoted to head coach of the club's academy program and as a development coach for the NBL side.[17] He was promoted to assistant coach for the 2020–21 season.[20] He continued on with United as an assistant coach in the 2021–22 season.[21] He joined the Sandringham Sabres men's team as an assistant coach for the 2022 NBL1 South season.[21] He continued with United in 2022–23 and then returned to Sandringham as an assistant in 2023.[22][23] He continued with United in 2023–24.[24] He spent a third season with Sandringham in 2024.[25]

In 2025, Carter served as an assistant coach for the Australian Crocs during their gold medal-winning U16 Asia Cup campaign.[26] He returned to United as an assistant coach for the 2025–26 season.[27]
