Basketball Betting Lines
08/03/2010 -
Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - USA Basketball Men's National Team
assistant coach Mike D'Antoni will miss the FIBA World Championship in Turkey
because of back problems.
The Knicks head coach will assist the team in New York from August 10-16, but
will not travel for the team's training and exhibition games overseas, or to
the tournament in Turkey, which runs from August 28-September 12.
He will be replaced by Toronto Raptors head coach Jay Triano.
D'Antoni was named an assistant for the national team in 2005, and helped as
the United States went 8-0 to win the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic
Games.
"We'll miss Mike on our trip, he's been a big part of this program, but we
know he'll be with us in spirit. We all realize this is what is best for him
and we hope that he's feeling better soon," said USA Basketball chairman Jerry
Colangelo. "We're fortunate to be able to add Jay (Triano) to our staff. He
has been involved in our national team program since 2007 and he is someone
we're familiar with; he offers continuity and possesses a lot of excellent
international coaching experience."
