[QUOTE="ProgrssvThinker, post: 685673, member: 71840"] You're right about that. Main problem with USA Basketball is lack of playing time and working together. Prior to Coach K and Jerry Colangelo at the helm, all USAB did was put a bunch of players together and go to the games. With the failures of the 2002 WC and 2004 OG - 6th and 3rd place - USAB changed its approach going forward. Coach K had a training camp and selected players that would work well together. The US still lost in 2006, but Coach K admitted that he didn't study the other teams like he does in college. Ever since then, not only does the US have a training camp before each major competition, but opponents are also studied and analyzed. USAB is also building a $350M training facility in Tempe and moving away from CO springs (USOTC). Main players won't play in FIBA tournaments, but will in the olympics. That will be the way going forward for USA Basketball. NRFL is finally showing some signs, but I'm still very, very skeptical. Stadium venue will be revealed prior to the next combine (so before January 2015). August 2015 is the Independence game and 2016 (presumably Spring 2016) is when the inaugural season kicks off.
