After graduating from Salisbury with a degree in health and physical education, Binetti served as the graduate assistant and later interim head coach at LaGrange College. She helped recruit the largest class in program history and finished the 2016 as the interim head coach. She led the team to a 22-14 record in 2016, marking the program's first winning season since 2011 and best win total since 2005. Binetti graduated from LaGrange with a master's in education.

Binetti spent 2017-18 as the full-time assistant coach at Illinois College. She helped the program post a nine-win improvement from her first campaign to her last, culminating in a 22-9 record in 2018. She served as the junior varsity coach and assisted the head coach in all aspects of the program from recruiting to practice planning to scouting. Binetti also designed a curriculum and taught the Illinois College Athletic Leadership Academy. Since 2012, Binetti has served as a coach on six different club teams for girls 13-18 in five different states.

Away from the court, Binetti has spent time developing as a professional. She graduated from the 43rd class of the NCAA Women’s Coaches Academy (WCA) hosted by the alliance of Women Coaches in 2017. She is a member of the AVCA Assistant Coaches Committee as a Division III representative and she serves as a mentor in the AVCA’s Match Point Program.
