US team expects Coach K at helm

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo expects Mike Krzyzewski to lead the Americans this summer, and the coach says he has "every intention" of being in Brazil.

Krzyzewski plans to have left knee replacement surgery following the completion of Duke's season, and Colangelo told NBA TV during All-Star Weekend in Toronto he was "thinking about what ifs" if Coach K's health prevented him from returning.

But Colangelo said on Thursday in a statement that "at no time" have he and Krzyzewski discussed him not coaching this summer.
