for the bronze, i know everyone is disgusted by thier performance in the olympics, but i am not, sure gold would have been great, but int'l hoops has caught up to american hoops, and the fact that other countries have dedicated national teams that add 1-2 nba players, the us is forced to assemble a team of nba players at the last minute. it would be great if our amateur players could compete witht the international professionals, but they cannot. Now it is time to have a convergence of american hoops and international hoops. lets adopt the wide lanes in america, push the 3 pointer back in international competition, add a 3rd ref to the int'l game. and finally lets get the "real" officials at the olympics, not the scrubs that went this year because of the fiba dispute. Way to go Team USA, and major kudos to the USA Womens team for bringing home the gold yet again!
