Chris Tomasson of the Rocky Mountain News on how future Team USA's will be selected:
"There really is no plan," Jerry Colangelo said. "I wanted so much to just stay focused on this week. There is a whole different set of circumstances if you win or you don't win. To talk about a plan is kind of premature either way. ... If we can finish the job, I can say that we can take it to another level. How we do that might be different than how we've done it the last three years."
Colangelo said players after the Olympics won't be given any immediate instructions on what the next step is. He said nothing is likely to be concrete until next season already has started.
"I don't think it's right," Colangelo said when asked if it would be unfair for the players to told after winning gold that there is a training camp next summer. "We want to win, and we want to enjoy it. We'll have plenty of time to talk about it. I need something to do when this is over so don't rush me ... It will be into (next) season (before a decision is made). The guys need to go home and rest and get ready for (NBA training) camp."
It's not even certain Colangelo will return to his role as team czar. "I haven't made up my mind," he said.
