Thanks Coach K.

How would the USA follow up a disappointing showing against Turkey in 2006?

"They had great technique, great effort, and defensively they were much better than the World Championship team of two years ago, and they are definitely in better shape than they were two years ago, and they use a team system -- not a star system," said Turkish coach Bogdan Tanjevic."

What a difference a good coach makes. I just hope this doesn't lure the college hall-of-fame coach to the pro ranks. Granted, he wouldn't be coaching a team full of all-stars. Here's to the gold!
