Message: [QUOTE="cordarone, post: 5025771, member: 225"] But it wasn't, which had been explained earlier if you had chosen to go over the prior discussion in this thread. USA BBall is constrained by the selection and eligibility criteria set by the sanctioning body, FIBA. Ergo, to be eligible, players have to be ranked. To be ranked, they have to play in enough sanctioned tournaments over the past year. If the player is good enough to play in the W or in Euroleague or reach the NCAA finals, chances are they won't have time to go to China or wherever these events are held. They can't be chosen for the Olympics and USA BBall gets blamed, ok... [/QUOTE]
