Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2325934, member: 199"] It really changed prior to the 1996 Olympics - when they pulled together a team and trained them for a year (and their college coach took a year away from Stanford.) From then on with the exception of the 2006 WC team the NT has been a pretty consistent team with at least 8 returning star players and consistently 2 'rookies' being trained for the team. The 2006 WC team stands out because the starting center, PG, and PF and a few others from the 2004 Olympics were not available/not on the 2006 team and they struggled to a Bronze. Most of those players returned for the 2008 Olympics and order was restored. [/QUOTE]
