CHICAGO — U.S. men's Olympic basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has heard all the controversy surrounding Brazil, and Rio de Janeiro in particular, ahead of the Olympic Games, but he has no reservations about the country himself.

"We're more than fine," Krzyzewski said after Friday's win against Venezuela. "It's an unbelievable honor to represent your country, and we're excited about going to a great country.
