I think this is a smart move. It might be a good idea to have a few more college kids as well to try and give the team a more "team" feel.
Perhaps then the pros would be more motivated as well. To get shown up by some college kids would be embarassing.
Report: Coach K to lead USA basketball
Krzyzewski will coach a team of NBA players possibly mixed with college talent -- players Colangelo has said he expects to make a commitment to the World Championships in Japan and Olympics in Beijing.
The U.S. will play in 2007 if it doesn't win the 2006 World Championships and qualify for the Olympics. So, this could be a three-summer coaching and playing commitment for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Training camp for the 2006 World Championships in Japan would begin the last week of July, likely on the West Coast.
