Coach Rosser's coaching career has been extensive in the high school and junior high school levels of football, volleyball, softball, baseball, and basketball. His basketball coaching career began at Toddy Thomas School in 1973. He then coached Girls Basketball at Dysart High School in Peoria, Arizona and Boys Basketball at Trevor Browne High School in Phoenix.

Coach Rosser took a short break in his coaching career last year to take care of some matters. During his last season as the Varsity coach, Coach Rosser's 2002-2003 varsity team posted a 13-12 record and made the North Coast Section tournament. He thought he retired after that season, but much to everyone's surprise (including his own), found himself returning to coaching to coach the freshmen team.
Coach Rosser and his wife Sandra have two children. Their son Alan attended Willamette University in Salem, Oregon and now works in the hi-tech industry in Portland. Their daughter Karen attended Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon and is a 2nd grade teacher in Las Vegas, Nevada.
