Dawn Staley to Coach U18 Team

[Wbbfan1]

with assistant coaches Jeff Walz and Kim Barnes Arico. High profile coaches for a FIBA Americas tournament. Could recruiting be involved in their decision.

Of course. Geno's public sharing of all WCBB information, training methods, strategy, etc... are all designed to raise the level of parity in the sport enhancing it's appeal and value.
It's good to see it's catching on in a big way. These guys and gals get it.

Excellent coaching staff.

I think our average margin of victory in this FIBA America's tournament must be about 50.

Interesting as I suspect this takes her out of the running as an assistant for the WC national team. I wonder if that makes JenR a more likely candidate for an assistant position?

Do people think this will influence A'ja Wilson's choice of a college?

Setting up Staley as a very strong contender for 2020.

I know of one that does.

Interesting that they have announced the U18 coaches, but not Geno's assistant coaches for the World Games in Turkey. Or if they have, I've missed it....

Just a reminder: If a USA Basketball coach is found to be using the access to players as a means to recruit... they are DEAD to USA Basketball. No foolin'.
