Mr. Rose led N.F.C.V.I. to five senior Ontario basketball championships and helped guide Brian to Brock University. After completing teacher’s college, Brian began his teaching career and was asked by Doug Aitchison to coach the Midget team at N.F.C.V.I, in 1972-73. In 1973, Brian coached the N.F.C.V.I.

An Assistant Coach at Brock University, Brian has led the team to three appearances at the C.I.S. National Tournament, winning the Championship in the 91-92 season. Brian has excelled as a coach at the elementary, secondary and university levels. For the past 20 years, Brian has spent every Saturday morning refereeing the Niagara Falls Minor Basketball League, a league which he started with Les Potapczyk and Bruce Stiefelmeyer. And for the past 35 years, he has coached at the Brock University Summer Basketball Camp. In 2005, Brian was named the first recipient of the Jimmy Rose Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the sport of basketball in Niagara.
