GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay men's basketball team and head coach Doug Gottlieb announced the return of Colin Schneider to Green Bay as an assistant coach for the Phoenix on Friday afternoon.
 
"We are so excited to bring Colin and Maura back home to GB," said Gottlieb. "What works at Green Bay is people who work incredibly hard and love GB. That is Colin. He is a Wiz with film from his NBA days. He has a keen eye for talent through his work with Brian Barone at SIUE, and he has a great New Holstein warmth, wit, and personality that players and fans will love. We are also excited for his boys, Crosby, Briggson, Creighton, and Breccan, to grow up in the best place to raise a Phamily in the country. Fired up for Colin to help take the Phoenix to the next level."

Schneider rejoins the Phoenix program after seven seasons with SIUE, serving as the Associate Head Coach of the Cougars under Brian Barone for the past three seasons. The Cougars have tallied four consecutive winning seasons from 2022-23 to 2025-26, most notably in 2024-25, when they won the OVC Tournament championship & reached the NCAA Tournament with a 22-12 record. Schneider helped guide SIUE to its first winning season in DI in 2022-23, and DI NCAA Tournament berth since the program elevated to Division I in 2008.

"I am incredibly honored and grateful to join Coach Gottlieb's staff and to return to a program and community with such a rich tradition of success," Schneider added. "UWGB and the surrounding community are a special place for my family and me to begin our next chapter. The positive momentum surrounding Green Bay basketball and the entire athletic department is something I cannot wait to contribute to. I am eager to get to work with our student-athletes, helping them develop both on and off the court as we compete for championships in the Horizon League."

Colin Schneider served as the Director of Basketball Operations in his first two seasons with SIUE from 2019 to 2021 before being promoted to an Assistant Coach in July 2021. Schneider served in that role before he was  promoted to Associate Head Coach in August 2023.  In that time, the Cougars have had three straight winning seasons, with an overall record of 58-41, and 34-24 in the OVC.

Schneider also brings NBA experience to the Green Bay coaching staff, serving as the Head Video Coordinator of the Sacramento Kings for three seasons prior to joining SIUE. He was also an assistant coach for the Kings' summer league entry. Prior to his time in Sacramento, he was the Assistant Video Coordinator for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Prior to his time in the NBA, Colin Schneider was the Director of Basketball Operations for Green Bay for three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, aiding the program's budget, travel, student-workers, film exchange, on-campus recruiting, scouting reports, practice planning, and video editing.
