With Mike Krzyzewski admitting that his status as the coach of U.S. Olympic basketball team is up in the air, New York's Mike D'Antoni could step in as the next coach.

Team USA basketball director Jerry Colangelo told the New York Post back in February that D'Antoni would be a top candidate if Krzyzewski were not to return.

"I'm tied to Coach K and will wait to see what he decides to do. I'll probably serve in any position they ask me to do. It was a great experience. Whatever they decide, I'll fall right in line," D'Antoni said of the possibility that he could become the team's next coach.
