Philip Alexander "Phil" Goss (born April 7, 1983) is an American professional basketball player for Umana Reyer Venezia of the Italian Serie A, playing as a point guard.

College career

Goss played for local Oxon Hill High School, winning the Class 4A Maryland championship in 2000,[1] and being named All-Met Second Team by The Washington Post in 2001.[2]

He committed to Drexel college, playing in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) of the NCAA Division I, prior to the nomination of coach Bruiser Flint in April 2001.[3]

He started 27 of 28 games he played as a freshman, averaging 11.4 points, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals in nearly 30 minutes per game,[4] leading to a selection to the 2002 CAA All-Rookie team.

In 2002-03, his school record 90 three pointers - later beaten by teammate Dominick Mejia -[5] combined with a 11.5 scoring average helped Drexel reach the 2003 CAA tournament final, that they would lose 62-70 to UNC Wilmington.

They again lost to UNCW in 2003-04, this time in the quarterfinals, Goss' 13.6 points, 2.4 assists and 2.1 steals, in around 32 minutes per game,[4] helped obtain a place in the 2004 All-CAA First-team.

Goss led the Dragons in scoring with 14.4ppg in 2004-05, however his 18 points in the CAA Tournament quarterfinal against Hofstra could not stop Drexel from losing, meaning a distraught Goss never played in the NCAA tournament.[6] He was selected to the All-CAA Second Team.

Drexel's opening round loss in the 2005 National Invitation Tournament - their third consecutive appearance in the NIT - was his last collegiate game. As of 2014-15, he is 12th on the Drexel all-time career scoring list (1,473 points), second for career 3-pt field goals (306) and fourth for career steals (166).[5]

Professional career

Going undrafted in the 2005 NBA draft, Goss moved to the Netherlands, signing with the Polynorm Giants of the Dutch Basketball League, the first offer he received.[7] In the 2005-06 season he averaged 9.4 points, 3,4 assists and 3,1 steals in more than 35 minutes per game, also playing in the league All-Star Game.[8]

The next season he signed with Beykozspor of the more competitive Turkish Basketball League. Playing for the lower table team, he managed 13.9 points, 4 assists (10th best in the league) and 4 rebounds per game in 2006-07.[9]

Goss next moved to the Israeli Basketball Premier League, signing with Eldan Ashkelon. After breaking his nose in the first regular season game he found it hard to fit into the team, disagreements with the organisation meant he left in February 2008.[7][8] Finishing the season in the Polish Basketball League with AZS Koszalin, he played 16 out of 18 games as starter, contributing 12 points per game as the team made the playoffs.[10][7]

In 2008, the American moved to Italian second division side Coopsette Rimini Crabs.[10]

He joined French team ASVEL in August 2011.[11]

He joined Italian team Umana Reyer Venezia in June 2014.[12] After averaging 14.1 points and 3.4 assists in 41 games during the 2014-15 season, helping Venezia reach the playoff semifinals, his contract was extended for another year in July 2015.[13]
