to be honest I don't think it was just the head coach...it was getting the right combination of players for the international game...

yeah obviously it was all the factors together. it takes the players gelling together, good coaching, and a good manager to assemble them all. it all fell into place 3 years ago and now we have a gold. yay

I took a nap first :oldhag , but I was up at 2:00 a.m. to watch the whole game. Thought it was funny when Kobe poured a water bottle on Coach K's head, and it really missed up his haircut. Coach kept wiping it with a towel, and then went in the locker room for like 30 minutes fixing his hair before the medal ceremony.

I got up at 6:30 am yesterday and stayed up until the end of the game. Didn't get to bed until 4:30 am, and I didn't take any naps during the day lol.

I don't ever plan on doing that again though. Getting up at 7:30 am and trying to watch an entire weekday NBA game on the west coast that doesn't start until 10:30 is hard enough.

...amazing what can happen when you have someone who can actually COACH and put a TEAM together.
Apparently, it's easier to coach a team full of NBA all stars to Olympic gold than it is to coach a team full of high school All Americans out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. 8)

And apparently Jesus will be at the right hand of the throne and coach K will be at the left. (note heavy sarcasm) IT IS EASIER to coach a bunch of NBA all-stars.

What I said is known as a backhanded compliment.
