Coaching the USA Men's Select Team for the past week has forced Sonics coach P.J. Carlesimo to juggle his duties with his new team while preparing Team USA for the FIBA Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament, which begins today.

Upon returning to Seattle, one of Carlesimo's top priorities is finalizing the coaching staff. According to several NBA sources, former Sacramento assistant Scott Brooks and former Orlando assistant Mark Bryant have accepted offers to join the Sonics coaching staff.
