On August 12, noted reporter Brian Windhorst reported that Steve Kerr, the head coach of USA Basketball, may step down from his position.
According to reporter Brian Windhorst, Grant Hill, the General Manager of USA Basketball, is expected to remain in his role and participate in the preparations for the next World Cup and the Los Angeles Olympics. However, there might be a change in who fills the head coaching position. Previously, Kerr had jokingly mentioned during an interview that he wanted to resign from his position as head coach, and it now seems very likely that this could happen. Tyronn Lue and Spoelstra are both strong candidates for the head coaching position.
