Can Team USA Live Up to Expectations?

Today marks the beginning of another Olympic opportunity for the Team USA basketball team. (I should say “men’s” basketball but I don’t believe a single person watches woman’s basketball so why differentiate?)

Given the recent poor play of our national team, especially compared to the utter dominance of the sport for decades, there’s a greater emphasis on “team” this time around. So who did they bring in? Why Coach K of course. Can Coach K manage this version of Team USA? That is the question, isn’t it? He’s got the chance to be a hero or goat.

It’s odd, I can’t bring myself to root against the great devil.
