PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- Duke men's basketball associate head coach Jon Scheyer has been named the head coach for the United States men's basketball team that will compete in the 21st Maccabiah to be held in Israel in July 2022.
Traditionally held every four years, interrupted only by World War II, the Games have grown to include nearly 10,000 Jewish athletes from more than 75 countries competing in 40 sports, making it the third largest international sporting event in the world following only the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup.
"I am honored to represent the United States in the Maccabiah" said Scheyer.
