Krzyzewski to lead U.S. men's basketball team at London 2012

WASHINGTON, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Mike Krzyzewski will stay with the U.S. men's basketball team to defend their Beijing Olympic Games title at the 2012 London Games.

Krzyzewski Tuesday told a news conference that he was honored to remain in his post.

"It's obviously a huge honour for me to continue on as United States national coach," Krzyzewski said. "We want to win another Olympic gold medal and we want to win the 2010 world championship in Turkey."

Duke University coach Krzyzewski will bring back his staff of assistants that helped steer a U.S. team led by Kobe Bryant and LeBron James to the 2008 gold after a bronze medal showing at the Athens Olympics.

Joining Krzyzewski on the sidelines again will be Jim Boeheim (Syracuse University), Mike D'Antoni (New York Knicks) and Nate McMillan (Portland Trail Blazers).
