    Default 'All roads led to' Gregg Popovich as Coach K successor, USA chair says

    SAN ANTONIO -- USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo on Friday announced that Gregg Popovich, who has led the San Antonio Spurs to five NBA championships, will succeed Mike Krzyzewski as coach of the U.S. basketball team after the 2016 Olympics.

    Popovich takes the reins beginning with the team's 2017 training camp, and will coach the team at the 2019 World Cup and 2020 Olympics, should it qualify.

    "Knowing that there was going to be an end to Coach K's tenure, the question of course internally and then externally was who was going to be next?" Colangelo said. "All roads led to Pop. It's as simple as that. Why is that? It's because of who he is, his character, his leadership. He's a winner. He's a leader, sacrificing attitude in terms of being a military guy. He's respected by everyone in the basketball world, and his legacy of course relative to his championships is extraordinary."
