“My goal is to provide our players, families, and staff with an environment that we all can continue to grow and thrive in. I believe that the future is bright for Southern Indiana United and that together we will be able accomplish many things together as a community.”

Bass was introduced to SIU from his high school coach, and current SIU coach, Brandon Rogers. Bass and his partner, Emily, have 3 kids (Elaina 11, Ella 7, and Reid 1). One of his children plays in the SIU U8 Academy.

“I want to thank Southern Indiana United for the opportunity to fill the interim DOC position.”

The club is excited to bring the experience from Shane Stuber to the Interim Assistant Director of Coaching to provide guidance and assistance to Brett. Shane has filled the interim DOC role in the past with great leadership.

Stuber’s immediate and main focus will be the success of our upcoming futsal season. He has a tremendous amount of experience in this program from past years.

Stuber has been coaching competitive soccer for 32 years and has been with SIU for 5 years. He was also the boys varsity assistant coach at New Albany High School for 7 years.

The search for a permanent Director of Coaching is underway. Former DOC, Andrew Minnis, will remain part of our coaching staff and will continue as head coach in the 2011 and 2012 boys age groups. We love the energy Andrew has brought to the club and we are excited to see him continue in his coaching roles here at SIU.

SIU is rounding off its fall season while heading into winter training and futsal. Brett is ready to dive in to get to work on supplemental tryouts (Nov. 4th), continuing coaches education, sorting winter training schedules, planning for the spring, and getting another season of TOPSoccer started.
