Carroll hosted his second annual all-girls basketball clinic (ages 7-18) at Basketball City as part of the Carroll Family Foundation, which included guest speakers such as Nets analyst Sarah Kustok, Nets game presentation manager Gina Nassivera, and former WNBA players Kym Hampton and Lauren Okafor.
