About the event
Brian Rosen became head coach in 2025 after having spent two years as assistant coach, one year as Associate Head Coach, and having been named AVCA National Assistant Coach of the Year in 2024. Creighton’s combined three season record with Rosen on the bench is 88-13, picking up 10 Top 25 wins and sweeping the BIG EAST regular-season and tournament titles each year. The Bluejays returned to the Sweet 16 in 2023 and last fall returned to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2016.
All are welcome at this special event taking place just after services, during B’nai Israel’s community Oneg, in their newly renovated Social Hall. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early and tour the ever-expanding exhibits of B’nai’s Living History Museum, as well.
