Was there anything else besides an instagram post?

Parker never trashed Geno or USA basketball.  I just googled "Candace Parker Olympics Interview" and here were quotes that came up in her interview with the AP:

[I]“I was surprised and disappointed,” Parker said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. “Having gone to last two Olympics, I know what it means to represent the USA. I wish everybody on the team good luck. The USA is going to win a sixth gold medal.”

Parker received a call from national team director Carol Callan last week informing her of USA Basketball’s decision.

“I was surprised, very surprised, but it’s tough on her,” Parker said. “I was looking forward to this summer. I played well up until this point. Played well in both camps. I felt like my game is still in its prime.”[/I]

She's never once made any negative or backhanded comments about the committee, the coaching staff, or any of the players.  In every interview she's done, she's stated that she was disappointed that she wasn't selected but never blamed anyone.
