And his mom, Tjinggawati Halim was also a Indonesia National Team player for the 1987 SEA Games, his brother William is also a basketball player playing for Rajawali Medan.

Club career

Vincent Kosasih started out his professional career with Satria Muda where he was roommate with Christian Sitepu. Kosasih recalls that Sitepu provided him with much valuable input.[1]

In 2016, Kosasih joined Stapac Jakarta where he stayed until 2019.[2]

In his two matches at the 2017 IBL Indonesia, Vincent averaged 6.5 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block in around 11 minutes per game.[1]

In early 2021, he signed with his former club's local competitor Pelita Jaya Bakrie Jakarta to replace Adhi Putra who retired.[2]

National team

Vincent Kosasih suited up for both Indonesia men's national under-16 basketball team and Indonesia men's national under-18 basketball team. He was part of the youth national team squads which appeared at the 2011 SEABA Under-16 Championship in Banting, Malaysia and 2012 SEABA Under-18 Championship in Singapore. Then he also appeared at the 2012 FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship in Ulan Bator, Mongolia.[1]

He was a member of the Indonesian national basketball team squad that won the silver medal at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games.[1] He joined the team after Adhi Pratama and Kristian Liem had to withdraw due to injury. He became one of the few Indonesian Centers (and forwards) available for the national team.[1]

Player profile

Kosasih's game has been influenced by several coaches from Eastern Europe. When he and Stapac won the 2019 IBL, he was coached by the Lithuanian Giedrius Žibėnas aka Coach Ghibi. Then in 2020 he joined the Indonesian national team and was trained by the Serbian coach Rajko Toroman.[2]
