NEW YORK -- The U.S. women's Olympic basketball team turned to its past to find its next coach.
Dawn Staley will coach the team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, two people with knowledge of the decision said. The people spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been publicly announced. Staley will be introduced at a news conference in South Carolina on Friday.
Staley helped the U.S. win gold medals as a player in 1996, 2000 and 2004. She also was an assistant coach on the 2008 and 2016 teams that won golds at the Olympics.
