Krzyzewski returns to coach US men's team

Mike Krzyzewski had decided to remain coach of the US men's Olympic basketball team.

Krzyzewski will try to lead the Americans to a third straight gold medal, a person with knowledge of the decision said on Wednesday. Originally expected to step down, Krzyzewski will hold a news conference to confirm his return on Thursday at Duke, the person said on condition of anonymity because no official announcement had been made.

The Hall of Fame coach has led the Americans since 2005, winning gold at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and the 2010 World Basketball Championship. His return was first reported by Sports Illustrated.
