Krzyzewski Reconsidering Return To USA Basketball Through 2016

Mike Krzyzewski is now giving serious consideration to remaining as head coach of USA Basketball through the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

"There's a chance," Krzyzewski said. "That's correct."

Krzyzewski had said for eight months that he's not returning to his position with USA Basketball, but a final decision has yet to be reached.

Jerry Colangelo said Saturday he and Krzyzewski have been discussing his return "in installments."

"I think it's very close to being resolved," Colangelo said. "That's all I can say for sure."

Krzyzewski has a 62-1 since 2005, a run that includes gold medal Olympic victories in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012.

Mirotic Wants To Play For Spanish Senior National Team

Nikola Mirotic would like to one day play for the Spanish senior national team.

A native of Montenegro, Mirotic moved to Spain as a teenager and played for the country’s U20 team at the 2011 European Championship.

"I had a great time playing with the U20," Mirotic said. "I have very fond memories. I am very happy. In Spain, I have felt like at home. We will see what the future holds."

Mirotic hopes to be selected to play for Spain's senior team at the 2014 FIBA World Cup.

"One has to remember that I am a Spanish national and I want to play with them," Mirotic said. "Right now, I belong to them.”
