Yes, people in and around USA Basketball realize that it’s easy to second-guess the decision to leave Caitlin Clark off the Olympic team.
South Carolina head coach and USA Basketball selection committee member Dawn Staley said Sunday that Clark's recent play had made a strong case for her inclusion in the Olympics. Clark was the most high-profile omission from the women's team when it was announced on June 11.
“As a committee member, you’re charged with putting together the best team of players, the best talent,” Staley said in an interview with NBC’s Mike Tirico.
