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 freshan, 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 Europe to further his career.[7]

He joined French team ASVEL in August 2011.[8]

He joined Italian team Umana Reyer Venezia in June 2014.[9]
