Coach K Will Lead Team USA In 2012

According to ESPN, Mike Krzyzewski (a.k.a. Coach K) will return as the head coach of the U.S. men’s basketball team for the 2012 Olympics. He will also  remain as coach of the national team at the 2010 world championship in Turkey.

First reported by The Boston Globe, USA basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo convinced Coach K  to stay in the job after he led the U.S.A. to the gold medal in Beijing last summer.

“With the success that we had, I would do everything in my power to keep everything intact,” Colangelo told The Associated Press without confirming the decision.

Aside from his busy coaching schedule for Duke University, Coach K also travels frequently around the country giving speeches on leadership and holding success-based workshops for many companies. After looking at his basketball resume, it’s quite obvious he knows a thing or two about being a leader.
