Phil Goss is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on April 7, 1983 in Temple Hills, Temple Hills, United States. Philip Alexander “Phil” Goss (born April 7, 1983)is an American former basketball player currently working as an assistant coach for the Capital City Go-Go of the NBA G League. He last played for PAOK Thessaloniki of the Greek Basket League. At a height of 6’2″ (1.88 m) tall, he can play at both the point guard and shooting guard positions.
Goss led the Dragons in scoring, with an average of 14.4 points per game, in 2004–05. However, his 18 points scored in the CAA Tournament quarterfinal, against Hofstra, could not stop Drexel from losing. Thus, a disappointed Goss never played in the NCAA tournament. He was selected to the All-CAA Second Team. Drexel’s opening round loss in the 2005 National Invitation Tournament – which marked their third consecutive appearance in the NIT – was his last collegiate game. As of 2014–15, he was 12th on the Drexel all-time career scoring list (1,473 points), second for career 3-pt made field goals (306), and fourth for career steals (166).
The next season, he signed with Beykozspor, of the more competitive Turkish Basketball Super League. Playing for the lower table team, he managed to average 13.9 points, 4 assists (10th best in the league), and 4 rebounds per game, in the 2006–07 season.
In 2008, the American shooting guard moved to the Italian second division side Coopsette Rimini Crabs. Playing in what he described as, “the best league he’d played in”, Goss flourished, becoming one of the league’s best players. He finished the season with averages of 17.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 3.8 steals per game. He was the fourteenth best in the league in scoring, and first in steals during the regular season.
In the 2002–03 season, his school record 90 made three-pointers – later beaten by teammate Dominick Mejia – combined with an 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, that time in the quarterfinals. Goss’ 13.6 points, 2.4 assists and 2.1 steals, in around 32 minutes per game, earned him a place in the 2004 All-CAA First-team.
