After a debut season that ended in the league championship game, the Calgary Surge announced this week that they are bringing back head coach Nelson Terroba for another season.
This is Osse’s fourth professional season having spent the prior three seasons with the Windsor Express, Island Storm and the Saint John Riptide, all of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC). Over the course of his professional career, the 6-foot-1 guard has averaged 11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists over the course of 103 professional games. Osse was a standout member of Team Quebec at the 2009 Canada Games. Upon graduating Archibald Carroll High School in Washington, D.C., Osse proceeded to play four years with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock which is a NCAA Division 1 program; the Trojans play in the Sun Belt Conference. During his time with the Trojans, Osse averaged 6.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 17.5 minutes per game. Osse made history when the 12th ranked Trojans upset the 5th ranked University of Purdue Boilermakers in the first round of the 2016 March Madness tournament.
