Kyrie Irving said on Tuesday he received confirmation that his college coach, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, would return to coach Team USA in four more years.

Krzyzewski and USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo were quoted in a joint statement released by USA Basketball.

"While Kyrie and I have discussed his potential role with USA Basketball in the future, my focus right now is on the remainder of our Duke team's season and the 2012 Olympics," Krzyzewski said. "Jerry Colangelo and I have not discussed anything beyond what is ahead of the USA National Team this summer as we pursue a gold medal in London."

Here's Colangelo's quote:

"There's been no discussion about roles beyond this summer, and it would be premature to do so," he said. "Kyrie is an exciting prospect who is on our radar, and while it is impossible to forecast what will happen in the next couple of summers, I'm sure if he continues to play at the level he is playing at now he will be given serious consideration for future USA Basketball teams."
