Neither of them looks like they're faking their emotions at that moment. Their exhilaration, joy and glee appear to be genuine. They can each look back at this photo years from now, regardless if their paths ever cross again or not and think (like Humphrey Bogart told Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca........"we'll always have Paris") We'll always have Rio". ;)

I had to look up who he was. Found this picture - I don't believe the coaches get a medal correct? Did they borrow these?

They must have and I don't think it is an accident that Geno is not wearing one.

There are no Olympic medals for coaches, which doesn't mean that the USA cannot create a version to present to the coaches and staff - as you can see the ribbons on these medals are not the ones used on the actual Rio Olympic medals which were predominantly green as can be seen in the player photos above.

We have us a genuine mystery UcMiami! Thanks. Who will solve it?

Good catch, Goodgood. I think they're wearing tokens for a free meal at any of Geno's restaurants (beverage not included).

Ah - OK, the 2012 Olympic medal ribbon was purple, but the 2014 WC medal ribbon was red and white, and in the Fiba WC the coach does get a medal and is on the stand with the team! So this would appear to be the post 2014 WC staff photo with them all wearing their medals.
