USA Basketball statement regarding the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games

USA Basketball is represented among the USOPC Hall of Fame finalists in the team category by the historic 1996 U.S. Olympic Women’s Basketball Team, as well as the late Anne Donovan and Lisa Leslie in the individual Olympic category.

The U.S. women already are qualified for Tokyo, but playing meaningful games together will keep them sharp and build team chemistry.

With one year until the opening tip of the 2020 Olympics, USA Basketball unveiled a collaborative and expanded USA National Team training plan that will benefit the growth of women’s basketball across the nation and has the support of the WNBA and, most importantly, the backing of the members of the USA National Team.

After helping guide the 2018 USA Women’s National Team to an overall 12-0 record, including a gold medal at the FIBA World Cup and six exhibition wins, USA Basketball has selected Dan Hughes, Cheryl Reeve and Jennifer Rizzotti to return as assistant coaches for the USA National Team through 2020.
