Very disappointed ... I had a great experience with it two years ago, playing with those guys and Coach K (Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski) and the whole experience. I had my hopes up that I was going to be able to repeat that — at least make it to the trial stage — so I’m really disappointed. But it’s motivatio...
Blue Devils guard Seth Curry went up for a loose ball and came down awkwardly. When he got up, he put weight on his ankle to see if he could continue. The grimace on his face suggested Curry's return was far from certain. "When he went out, I thought...
He is most certainly a legendary coach, but the Mount Rushmore never seems to include Boeheim. John Wooden has an obscene 10 national titles, Mike Krzyzewski and Adolph Rupp have 4, Jim Calhoun and Bob Knight both own 3. Dean Smith is among a a group...

View Photo »I think Kobe really wants to be in London and again, depending on injury, that will be his choice but, it would have to be something very, very serious [to keep him out]
Very disappointed ... I had a great experience with it two years ago, playing with those guys and Coach K (Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski) and the whole experience. I had my hopes up that I was going to be able to repeat that — at least make it to the trial stage — so I’m really disappointed. But it’s motivatio...
Miles Plumlee was a force for us today ... He was very physical.
Don’t you think if Mike Krzyzewski really wanted to go to the NBA he would get double the numbers he makes at the college level? Maybe he would also get partial ownership of a pro franchise thrown in? Minnesota made a run at him, and the Lakers at one point showed some interest. I have to believe he wou...
This will be the most talented of the three teams that I’ve had the opportunity to coach
I went up to Mike Krzyzewski before the game and said, 'Surprised to see you here,' and he said, 'Surprised to see you here.'
Any time you can represent your country, it's a positive ... You can't knock it. Selfishly, I want my guys to get their rest, but I'm going to support them in whatever they chose to do in the summertime.
I think Kobe really wants to be in London and depending on (his) injury, that will be his choice, but it will have to be something very, very serious (to sideline him)
I like the fact that we have a roster full of guys who've been champions, either in the Olympics or world championships, and guys who are excited to play
He's really turned the corner for us ... At first, he was learning the system and understanding it's not just about a high screen and roll. He's done a great job of embracing that from watching Nigel (Williams-Goss).
The guys that have played for us know what to expect
Obviously, we have a lot of really good guards.
They understand that they are not going to be overworked. What we did after the first year was adapt to each other. In other words, we’d have one practice a day. But most of those guys had some type of individual workout—conditioning, stretching, Pilates, you name it. We carved out time so they could ge...
I like the balance that we will have with youth. We have players right in their prime and veteran players. I guess with Kobe's case he's always at his prime
I think the power of prayer worked ... because I didn't say anything to [Wade], but I certainly said a few prayers hoping that the other [players] would have an influence on him.
These players have helped restore the winning tradition of USA Basketball while also gaining the respect of people around the world for the manner in which they have done it
Aside from the obvious special basketball talents that all of these players possess, what struck me most about the finalists was their commitment to USA Basketball and the international basketball experience they have compiled ... Among our 20 finalists, we have two players who possess 55 or more games ...
I feel like we have an outstanding blend of talents from the 2008 Olympic and 2010 World Championship teams that won gold
I feel like we have an outstanding blend of talents from the 2008 Olympic and 2010 World Championship teams that won gold ... Reducing to the official roster limit of 12 players will be an even tougher decision, but we?ll evaluate how guys play during the 2011-12 NBA season and as we?ve done with our te...
Jason's amazing. He's an undefeated, international player ... One of the reasons we have a program right now is because of his leadership and maturity. He's the best.
He's a marvelous player to coach because he's such a sponge and such a team player ... That whole summer (with Team USA), he did a great job for us. I think it helped him going into the next year. He helped himself by making that commitment. Remember, he also was part of our Select (practice) teams. Der...

I sent a message for two full days that if we didn’t get started...we’re going to find guys who are going to be tough and want to win. After about eight minutes, everybody wanted to fight and win
I'm really proud of our guys. We played a really good team tonight ... Down the stretch, our guys hit free throws and I thought we finished the game very well.
For the last few days I feel like, besides Clemson, a huge opponent for us is human nature
