Lithuanian national team
Maskoliūnas was a member of the Lithuanian national team which won bronze medals at the 2000 Olympic Games.
Maskoliūnas works as a coach, and had worked as both assistand and head coach with BC Žalgiris and arch-rival BC Lietuvos Rytas. His stint at Žalgiris ended in controversy, as he was fired during the 2010 LKL final series by then owner Vladimir Romanov. He signed with BC Lietuvos Rytas next season, first as an assistant, but became head coach in April 2011 after coach Aleksandar Trifunović was fired. After the season, he once again became an assistant, this time to Aleksandar Džikić. In October 2012, after Džikić was fired, he became head coach again, but was shockingly fired by Lietuvos Rytas in March 2013.
