(Plymouth) — Marian University Ancilla men’s basketball coach Brian Foster is in critical condition after his car was hit by a semi on U.S. 30 in Plymouth late Friday night.

The news was made public in a Facebook post by his daughter, Nevaeh, Saturday morning and subsequently confirmed by the college later Saturday.

Foster had just completed his first season as the Chargers head coach.  A 2002 Riley grad and an Ancilla alum, Foster has been a longtime fixture in the basketball community. After coaching at Dickinson, Marshall, and Jackson Middle Schools, he has served as an assistant coach at Marian High School in Mishawaka since 2018. He has also served as a coach and aided player development in the grassroots/travel basketball world, most recently founding and leading the Indiana Eclipse program.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Marian Charger Athletics stated “Charger Men’s Basketball Coach Brian Foster was involved in a horrific traffic accident and continues to fight for his life. We ask that you please offer any and all thoughts and prayers you can at this time! We ask that you please respect the family’s privacy at this time.”

Foster’s daughter, Nevaeh, is Marian’s all-time leading girls basketball scorer. She recently transferred to UIC for her senior season. His son, Brandon, was a senior point guard on Marian High School’s sectional championship team this season.
