USA Basketball Chairman Jerry Colangelo says the next head coach of USA Basketball is likely to come from the NBA.
In an interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio, Colangelo said that the “odds are that it will be a professional coach.”
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who has won five NBA titles and is considered the league’s best coach, is one possibility, sources said.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who was hired in 2005, said Monday he will step down after the 2016 Rio Olympics. He could eventually succeed Colangelo as Chairman.
