Mike Krzyzewski will continue to be involved with USA Basketball after stepping down as the team’s head coach.

Krzyzewski has said that the London Olympics will be his last coaching the United States.

“Let’s win and then figure that out,” Krzyzewski said. “I’ll be involved. It would be not a real smart thing to have someone who has been involved in this for seven years not to have some input in the future.

“I’ve lived this. I have a feel for it. I know the international community, the international game. Just going through the experience of doing this for seven years with the practices, the media, the culture differences, you want to make sure that you don’t just bury historic and institutional knowledge about those things. Jerry is going to keep on. My relationship with him is as close as it can be. I’ll be involved in some way.”

Jerry Colangelo, who will stick around after the London games, said the decision is easy.

“It’s pretty simple,” Colangelo said. “He can be involved as long as he wants to be as long as I’m involved. I don’t have another thing to take up my time. I would be hard-pressed not to have some involvement from Coach K going forward.

“We’ve grown so much over these last eight years and what he’s done in terms of developing this culture, it would be really hard to see us going forward without some involvement on his part.

“It’s really his call.”
