USA Basketball will announce today Mike Krzyzewski will return as coach of the U.S. men’s basketball team, but former Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni will no longer be part of his staff.
According to a source, D’Antoni, who now runs the Lakers, turned down the job as he didn’t want to make another four-year commitment because of his family.
D’Antoni has been with Team USA since the 2006 Games and has won two gold medals.
“He wants to stay married,’’ the source said.
Krzyzewski will try to lead the Americans to a third straight gold medal. Originally expected to step down, Krzyzewski will hold a news conference today at Duke to confirm his return.
