<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jerry Colangelo soon will have another challenge. This one will be red, white and blue. Colangelo, 65, will be named overseer of the men's division of USA Basketball, the nation's governing body for the sport responsible for selecting and fielding teams in international competitions such as the Olympics. The official announcement is expected to come in March or April. "I can't say one way or the other," Colangelo, Suns chairman and a Basketball Hall of Fame member, said Monday, "but it would be an honor to be considered." It also would be a perfect match of talent and need. Colangelo's strengths always have involved building a consensus, something lacking with Team USA, which has been fractured by controversy and poor performances. It all came to a head in the past two most notable global tournaments - the 2002 World Championships, in which the United States finished sixth, and the Athens Olympics this past summer, when a team of NBA stars managed only a bronze medal. </div> Source
