The 2017 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Cup Team will be led by Naismith Basketball Memorial Hall of Fame member John Calipari (Kentucky) as the head coach with successful collegiate head coaches Tad Boyle (Colorado) and Danny Manning (Wake Forest), a 1988 Olympic bronze medalist, serving as USA assistant coaches.
The coaching staff was selected by the USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee and approved by the USA Basketball Board of Directors.
"USA Basketball has assembled an outstanding staff led by Coach Calipari, and the team will excel under their leadership," said Matt Painter, Purdue University head coach and chair of the USA Basketball Junior National Team Committee.
