Colangelo Hints At Another Run With USA Basketball

After building an Olympic gold medal-winning team in the last few years, Jerry Colangelo could make another run at more success with USA Basketball, according to Associated Press.

"I'm kind of leaning toward continuing, but we still have some things that we're talking through just in terms of organization," Colangelo said Monday. "I'm kind of inclined to continue because it is my connection" to basketball.

Colangelo, the former owner of the Phoenix Suns, took over as USA Basketball's managing director in 2005.
