Team USA has named its assistant coaches for the 2019-20 campaign. The assistants behind Head Coach Gregg Popovich will be Steve Kerr from the Golden State Warriors, Jay Wright from the University of Villanova, and Indiana Pacers head coach Nate McMillan.
The 2019-20 timeframe includes the 2019 FIBA World Cup in the Fall of 2019 as well as the Olympic games in the summer of 2020. McMillan will be present for both as an assistant.
After receiving a contract extension earlier this summer, the good news keeps coming for Coach McMillan. He is joining the truly elite coaching staff and will get to spend tons of time with star coaches and players, which can only be a good thing for both his ability as a coach and his networking with others in the basketball realm.
