Big news for Ohio State basketball head coach Chris Holtmann, as he's been announced as one of the six coaches for the USA Men's basketball U19 training camp. This is Holtmann’s first assignment to USA Basketball.
The camp will take place from June 15-17 in Colorado Springs, and will help determine who makes the cut for the U19 national team. The head coach of the U19 squad is Bruce Weber, current head coach at Kansas State. Weber is a successful coach with a Final Four appearance on his résumé from his time at Illinois.
Getting called upon to help the US national team is a big honor, regardless if it's gearing up for an Olympiad or for a U19 training camp.
