Bishop Stang Athletic Director, Ryan Silvia, stated, "After meeting with Brian to discuss the baseball program at Bishop Stang, it became clear that even though he has a wealth of knowledge and experience about the game of baseball, he is more concerned about developing young people and has a student centered approach to coaching. We are excited to have a coach of his caliber join the Bishop Stang family." With the desire to share his passion for baseball within his own community, Rose works for the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office for the Community Affairs Division acting as Program Manager, Neighborhood Liaison, Youth Prevention Programmer, and Office Volunteer Coordinator.
Rose shared, "I am really excited to start my next chapter in this great game of baseball as new head coach of the Bishop Stang Baseball Program. I feel obligated to give back to my community what I have learned throughout my baseball career as a player, and I look forward to being the best coach, role model and mentor that I can be."
