Jamie Rosser enters his seventh year as an assistant coach at Southeast Missouri.
Last year, Rosser was in charge of scouting and academic performance, while serving as Southeast’s co-recruiting coordinator and guards coach.
A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Rosser has helped the Redhawks establish a strong pipeline to one of the region’s more prominent basketball hotbeds.
In all, Rosser has recruited eight players from Memphis during his time at Southeast, including First-Team All-Ohio Valley Conference forward Tyler Stone, two-time Second-Team All-OVC forward/guard Jarekious Bradley and Southeast’s all-time career blocks leader Nino Johnson. Guard Antonius Cleveland, who returns for his junior year in 2015-16, is also part of that talented group. Stone and Bradley went over 1,000 points in their Redhawk careers.
Rosser spent two years as head girls basketball coach at Overton High School in Memphis. He guided Overton to a District championship in 2009. The Lady Wolverines were also City and Regional runner-ups that year. Rosser, who earned Coach-of-the-Year honors in both 2008 and 2009 was set to coach Overton’s boys and girls teams before accepting his first Division I coaching job at Southeast.
Rosser was the starting point guard as a prep at Overton High School. He started his college basketball playing career at Northwest Community College, where he was rated as the top junior college point guard in the nation. Rosser transferred to Arkansas State in 1999-2000 and later played one year of professional basketball in Lithuania.
In addition, Rosser coached the Memphis Magic AAU team for 16 and 17-year old players. He guided the Magic to a 17-7 record that season.
Rosser is a 2001 graduate of Arkansas State. He and his wife, Crystal, have one daughter, Jada.
