Cole: The World Cup is arranged in the year before the Olympic Games. Many stars do not want to play for two years in a row.
Live broadcast on August 3 Today, US men’s basketball coach Cole participated in the NBA Today program.
Cole said: “The International Basketball Federation has changed recently. The World Cup was placed in the year before the Olympic Games. The interval between the two was two years before, so you can get some players’ promises, they can fight both. But now it is different, not only for the US team, but also for other international teams. Many star players do not want to play this kind of competition for two consecutive summers. You must understand them.
“Now there are many young talented players in the US team. I am very excited to coach them. I talked with Coach K about his experience in coaching young people. This will be a great experience, and we are just ready.”
This year’s World Cup will be held from August 25 to September 10, 2023, and there will be the Paris Olympics next year.
