Coach K

Beijing time on August 19, according to US media reports, Coach K said that he never thought he could coach the US men's basketball team, especially since the NBA was allowed to participate in the Olympic men's basketball.

"In my opinion or in the opinion of all college coaches, the NBA should coach (the national team)," Old K said. "Chuck Daly and P.J. Carlesimo gave me the opportunity to be an assistant coach, and I thought that was the biggest honor I could get."

But the Dream Team became arrogant amid the praise. They lost to Argentina in the men's basketball semifinals of the 2004 Athens Olympics and ended their Olympic journey with a bronze medal. Since then, USA Basketball has begun to pursue changes, eager to reaffirm its dominance in basketball.

In 2005, the American Basketball Association finally locked in Coach K from a list of more than 20 head coach candidates.

"Serving as the head coach of the national team is not a difficult decision, it is the highest honor," Old K said. "Did I expect that I was going to be invited? No, not really. If I wasn't invited, I wouldn't have any feelings. As long as we win, I respect all decisions of USA Basketball. So when I was When they give me the seal of approval, I want to be the head coach and I want to be the best."

Considering both the national level and the coaching level, Coach K is the best choice. He was born in West Point Military Academy and is also the championship coach of Duke University.

Jerry Colangelo, manager of USA Basketball, said: "The U.S. national team at that time was in dire need of a representative coach, a person, a leader, a motivator and a communicator. He was a member of the military. The discipline requirements and preparation are what we need, and I don't see anything bad about it."

This Olympics is the last time that Old K will coach the US men's basketball team. Spurs head coach Popovich will then take over the coaching staff of the national team. There are 10 players in this dream team who have no Olympic experience, and 6 of them have never participated in an international competition. They will face the Spanish team in the Olympic men's basketball semifinals in the early morning of August 20th, Beijing time.

"We need to live in the moment -- not 'This is my last Olympics' or 'This is Anthony's third Olympic gold medal,'" K. said. "We play for the team and our goals."
