Shawn Long made the cut for Team USA

[DieHard1280]

Congrats to Shawn. Anyone's opinion of the job Marlin is doing change in light of the last two years? Or is he just lucky to have these two players? Little of both?

Can anyone name the only other UL/USL player to make this team?

Michael Allen, as I recall, made one of the US national teams (not Pan Am). I don't recall any other USL/UL basketball player, other than Elfrid and Shawn to make a national team.

I always thought Toney had made the team in 1979 but after researching, he hadn't made the team. Bad memory on my part.

I'm pretty sure Toney made the team & led them in scoring. This helped him to become a first rounder.

I am really interested in who is coaching the USA Pan American Team now and when the games will be on TV. Does anyone know?

Mark Few of Gonzaga is the Pan Am games coach. I believe Ron Hunter of Georgia State is one of the assistants.

Ron Hunter is not. He was a court coach for the tryouts.

Tad Boyle, Colorado's head coach is an assistant and Mike Brown, former NBA head coach is an assistant.

Slappy, thanks for the Pan Am games coaching staff clarification. Someone else answered the question about the team's schedule. However, I have not seen where we may be able to watch these games. Anyone have any idea?

Shawn seems to be growing up and is very proud to be representing team USA.

Go for GOLD!

I feel like I'm learning a lot. People don't realize I started playing my junior year of high school really.

Yep Ron Hunter did not make the cut, as he fell out his courtside chair! lol Ron may have had a say though in Shawn making the team! If so thanks Ron, but still remember to, "Stay off the Court during the game!"
