Trang 15JERRY COLANGELO
2019 USA MEN’S world cup TEAM MANAGING DIRECTOR
From playing, to coaching, to being an influential leader in the NBA and internationally, Jerry Colan-gelo’s career is a story of remarkable success
The most recent chapter of his contributions is pure gold
Colangelo’s involvement with USA Basketball began
on April 27, 2005, when he was announced as the Managing Director of the then newly organized USA Basketball Men’s Senior National Team program He later was elected chairman of USA Basketball’s Board of Directors for the 2009-12 quadrennium, and was reelected for a second term, 2013-16
Taking control in 2005 of the USA National Team Program that hadn’t won a major international competition since 2000, Colangelo confidently re-built the program from the bottom up Obtaining the involvement of the NBA’s top players, and securing the involvement of some of basketball’s most respected coaches, Colangelo’s first step in his rebuilding process was naming Duke University’s Hall of Fame mentor Mike Krzyzewski as the USA National Team head coach
Since Colangelo took charge of the national team, the USA men have compiled a remarkable 88-1 over-all record (60-1 in official FIBA or FIBA Americas competitions and 28-0 record in exhibition games) and claimed top honors in six of seven FIBA or FIBA Americas competitions
Under Colangelo the USA men have claimed gold medal finishes at the 2007 FIBA Americas Champi-onship, 2008 Beijing Olympics, 2010 FIBA World Championship, 2012 London Olympics, 2014 FIBA World Cup and 2016 Olympics
During his first term as managing director, the
2006-08 USA National Team program compiled a striking 36-1 overall win-loss record, and just as importantly re-established the USA team as positive ambassa-dors for the United States and the sport
In the program’s first year, the U.S captured the bronze medal with an 8-1 record at the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan The following sum-mer the USA won the 2007 FIBA Americas Champi-onship with a 10-0 record to qualify the U.S for the
2008 Olympic Games The USA culminated the
qua-drennium by finishing 8-0 to reclaim the gold medal at the
2008 Beijing Olympics It was the USA’s first gold in
a major international competition since 2000 Returning in 2009 for a second run as the national team’s managing director, the USA finished 9-0 to win the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey It was the USA’s first World Championship gold medal since 1994
Two years later, the U.S rolled to a perfect 8-0 record to capture Olympic gold in London and conclude Colangelo’s second quadrennium on a high note
In 2013-16, his third quad at the helm of the USA national team program, the USA bested all comers and compiled a 9-0 record to claim the FIBA World Cup gold medal in Spain and earn the U.S its first ever back-to-back world titles The U.S concluded Colangelo’s third quad by finishing 8-0 in Rio to claim a third consecutive Olympic gold medal
On Dec 7, 2015, Colangelo was named chairman of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers Late in the 2015-16 season after guiding Philadel-phia through some transitions, he relinquished his role but remained with the club as a special advisor
to Sixers’ owner Josh Harris
Colangelo was the face of the NBA Phoenix Suns franchise from their inaugural season in1968 through 2012 While with the Suns, his roles in-cluded general manager, head coach, president, managing general partner, chief executive officer and chairman His 43-year tenure with Phoenix came
to an end in 2012 and was at the time the longest in the NBA
On two occasions Colangelo stepped in to coach the Suns, including the 1969-70 season when he guided the club to a 24-20 mark down the stretch and to its first playoff appearance He also took over in 1972-
73 and compiled a 35-40 mark Overall, Colangelo is 59-60 as an NBA coach
His overall impact on the game of basketball has been so significant he was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in April 2004 On Nov 4, 2007, Colangelo became the 12th member of

Trang 17GREGG POPOVICH
2019 USA MEN’S world cup TEAM HEAD coach
The future leadership for the USA Basketball Men’s National Team was disclosed on Oct 23, 2015, when USA Basketball Chairman Jerry Colangelo officially announced that five-time NBA championship and longtime San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich had been named head coach of the USA Basketball Men’s National Team for the 2017-20 quadrennium
“I’m extremely humbled and honored to have the portunity to represent our country as the coach of the USA National Team,” said Popovich, a 1970 graduate of the U.S Air Force Academy “What the program has accomplished over the last decade under the leadership of Jerry Colangelo and Mike
op-Krzyzewski is truly impressive I will do my utmost
to maintain the high standards of success, class and character established by Jerry, Coach K and the many players who have sacrificed their time on be-half of USA Basketball.”
“I’m absolutely delighted to announce Gregg Popovich as head coach of the USA Basketball Men’s National Team for 2017-20," said Colangelo
"There is no doubt in my mind that we have the great fortune of bringing on board one of the NBA’s best and most successful coaches ever to lead the USA National Team for the 2017-20 quadrennium By making this decision now, it will allow us to have a clean, efficient and immediate transition following
the 2016 Olympic Games."
In 23 seasons (1996-97 through 2018-19) as head coach of the NBA San Antonio Spurs, Popovich currently stands as the longest tenured active coach
in both the NBA and in all U.S major sports leagues
