McMillan Named USA Basketball Assistant Coach 

Post#1 » by boomershadow » Sat Oct 13, 2018 2:00 pm

I know this is a couple days old by now, but I thought it deserved a mention. I was actually unaware that he had been a part of the USA basketball staff before.

The USA Basketball Men's National Team coaching staff today was finalized with the announcement that NBA head coaches Steve Kerr (Golden State Warriors) and Nate McMillan (Indiana Pacers) and Villanova University head coach Jay Wright have been selected as assistant coaches for the 2019-20 USA Basketball Men's National Team.

"I'm honored and thrilled to be with USA Basketball and the National Team again," said McMillan. "My previous experience I figured to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and now I've been blessed again. I look forward to working with Coach Popovich and a great group of players."

McMillan, 54 years old, returns to USA Basketball after serving on Mike Krzyzewski’s USA National Team staff from 2006-12. During his time as an assistant coach for the USA National Team, the Americans won gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics, the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2007 FIBA Americas Championship, and a bronze medal at the 2006 FIBA World Championship. All told, USA teams with McMillan as an assistant coach compiled a 43-1 record in FIBA and FIBA Americas competitions and a 19-0 record in national team exhibition games.

Good opportunity for him to get some facetime with some big time free agents...

Return to Indiana Pacers
