Colangelo given control, wants two-year commitmentAssociated Press


PHOENIX -- Jerry Colangelo has been given total control of the U.S. men's Olympic basketball program and has promised radical changes in an effort to restore the United States to international prominence in the sport.

The system of a handful of NBA stars gathering for a few weeks before the competition will be abandoned, said Colangelo, the chairman and CEO of the Phoenix Suns who has been involved in basketball for 50 years, 39 of them in the professional ranks.

"It's going to be drastically different," Colangelo said Wednesday at a news conference, "and I say that because you know stars do not necessarily make a great team."

Put a team together. Meaning a point guard, shooting gaurd, wing man, post man, and center... Then throw in some role players like a 3 point specialist, rebounder, defender, so forth...

What's so hard about this? You've got the whole NBA to choose from.

You could take Phonex starters and replace Nash with Kidd and get a quality bench and say keep up with us.
