Jerry Colangelo Wants Mike Krzyzewski To Replace Him As USA Managing Director

Jerry Colangelo would like Mike Krzyzewski to eventually replace him as managing director of the United States' managing director.

Colangelo wants to continue working with Krzyzewski after the 2016 Olympics, which will be his final edition as head coach.

Gregg Popovich was selected to succeed Krzyzewski as Olympic coach for the 2020 games, starting with coaching the U.S. in the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

"Pop said to me, 'I'll do it under one condition, that you're there. I don't want to do it if you're not going to be there.' I committed to him to stay in my role through 2020, but that's it for me,'' said Colangelo, who took over in 2005.

Krzyzewski, 69, has a five-year contract that expires in 2020-21 and Duke athletic director Kevin White said last month he expects Coach K to finish the contract.
