Early life and education Born in Everett, Washington, Muscatell graduated from Cascade High School in 1978.

Muscatell completed his bachelor's degree in physical education and psychology in 1983 and went on to earn a master's degree in public administration in 1990 also from Western Washington.

Coaching career From 1982 to 1990, Muscatell was boys' varsity basketball coach at Meridian HS in Laurel, Washington. In his first season, the team qualified for the postseason, after winning just three games in the two prior seasons. Muscatell earned county and regional "Coach of the Year" honors after leading Meridian to a school-record second-place district finish. Muscatell helped San Jose State upset #1 seed Colorado State in the Mountain West tournament and advance to the semifinal round. In 2015–16, San Jose State finished with an 11–7 record in Mountain West play for its best conference record in nearly a decade. After the 2017–18 season, Craighead reassigned Muscatell to a special assistant position where he oversaw budgeting, scheduling, travel, and other business operations. Muscatell retired from San Jose State after the 2018–19 season.
