like she belonged. “My past USA Basketball experi-
ences definitely helped me a lot because I kind of knew what the flow of things is,” said the 2013 NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player. “Even though it’s different coaches and stuff like that, to say that I played on USA teams before made me more comfortable, because if this was my first USA training camp, I’m sure I’d be extremely nervous.” All-in-all, from the oldest to the
youngest, coaching staff to committee, the weekend was a resounding success.

With less than a year to go before the
2014 FIBA World Championship, which will be held in Turkey from Sept. 27- Oct. 5, Auriemma feels good about how the team is shaping up, but he knows other challenges linger on the horizon. “You’ve been around long enough to
know that we never know what our team is,” he said. “The only thing that we ever know at USA Basketball is who is avail- able. And we really don’t know who our team is until we actually get to where we’re going and start playing. But, given who we have to choose from, yeah, I like
our team. “The biggest area that is going to
be a challenge is finding the next Sue (Bird) and Dee (Diana Taurasi) to run the team. That change from Dawn Staley and Katie Smith, that group, to Sue and Dee and Tamika Catchings. That was a very smooth transition. There wasn’t a whole lot of change. I think right now, identifying who those three key players, at those three key positions are going to
be.That’s going to be our biggest challenge for USA Basketball.”
