Duke's Mike Krzyzewski said last summer that the 2012 Olympics would be his last year with USA Basketball, but the men's national team continues to pursue Coach K and will not name a coach until after the college season, according to sources.
One of Team USA's key motivations is to give Krzyzewski as much time as possible to consider another run with the program.
Team USA officials are holding out hope that Krzyzewski can be talked into one more tour as coach.
Candidates that have been mentioned as possible successors to Krzyzewski are Gregg Popovich, Doc Rivers, Doug Collins and Michigan State's Tom Izzo.
