Osvaldo Jeanty (born August 1, 1983 in Miragoâne , Haiti ) is a Canadian basketball coach and former basketball player who, after completing his studies in Canada, played professionally in Europe - most of it in Germany. He also came to international appearances in Canada's senior team. Currently is the head coach of the Ottawa BlackJacks .

In the basketball Bundesliga 2008/09 he was one of the most dangerous long-range shooters at the newly promoted Giants Nördlingen in the German basketball league and scored the best marks for three-point throws and points in a game. At the 2009 BBL All-Star Game weekend, he also won the three-point throw competition.

Player career

Jeanty had great success with the Ravens at Carleton University while studying in Canada . Even honored with personal awards - in 2007 he was Ottawa's Sportsman of the Year - he and his team won the WP McGee Trophy , the Canadian university championship, five times in a row . In 2007 Jeanty was a member of the Canadian national basketball team at the 2007 Pan-American Games in Rio de Janeiro .

After completing his studies, Jeanty signed a contract with the Giants Nördlingen in Germany and initially played for the club there in the second highest German division, the 2nd Bundesliga ProA . With the Giants, he immediately won the championship in this league and rose to the highest German division, the basketball Bundesliga . Jeanty remained loyal to the club, which also holds its own thanks to the Canadian's performance in this class. For economic reasons, however, the Giants gave back the license for the top division at the end of the season.

After a trip to Morocco , Jeanty returned to Nördlingen for a few games in the ProA at the beginning of the 2009/10 season. He then signed a contract in Romania , where he played under former Bundesliga coach Bruno Socé . He stayed here only a few months before the LTi Gießen 46ers were able to bring Jeanty back to Germany in the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) in January 2010 .

For the 2010/2011 season, Jeanty stayed in the BBL. He signed a one-year contract with newly promoted BBC Bayreuth . This was extended until 2012, and Jeanty was the team captain of the BBC Bayreuth in the 2011/2012 season. After the end of the 2011/12 season, Jeanty left the club. In mid-November 2012 he then signed a contract with the Lightning from London (Ontario) in his Canadian homeland, where he tried their championship title in national basketball together with the former NBA professional and player of the Eisbären Bremerhaven Rodney Buford under coach Micheal Ray Richardson Defend League of Canada. But after a few games, Jeanty left the club, returned to Germany in the Bundesliga at the beginning of 2013 and signed a contract with the Mitteldeutscher Basketball Club (MBC) from Weißenfels until the end of the season . For the 2013/2014 season, Jeanty did not receive a new contract and had to leave the club.

In November 2013, he announced the end of his professional basketball career. In October 2014 he was inducted into the Hall of Fame at Carleton University Ravens .

Coaching career

Jeanty founded a youth basketball academy in his Canadian homeland. He also worked as a financial advisor. From 2014 to 2016 he was the head coach of the basketball team at Cégep de l'Outaouais, a school in the Canadian province of Québec . From the 2016/17 season he was an assistant on the coaching staff at Carleton University Ravens , where he worked under Dave Smart, for whom he once played. Jeanty remained an assistant trainer at the university until 2019. During his tenure, Carleton won the Canadian University Championship twice. In January 2020 he was introduced as the head coach of the Canadian professional team Ottawa BlackJacks (CEBL), where Smart is the manager.
