| Team USA Assistant Coach Jim Boeheim |
Syracuse University head coach and current Team USA assistant mentor Jim Boeheim thinks that it’s the American mental philosophy that says the Olympic basketball is bigger than the FIBA World Championships, according to HoopsHype.com. However, Boeheim pointed out that in other countries, the World Cup (soccer) and FIBA World is of equal importance with the Olympiad.
“It’s not because of basketball, it’s because of the mental philosophy of all americans. It’s Olympics. The rest of the world thinks about the soccer World Cup and the basketball World Championship. They tie them together. But when you’re growing up in the United States, the biggest thing is the Olympics. And it’s not just basketball, it’s any sport.”
