Jerry Colangelo challenges countries to push Team USA

Speaking after the U.S. men's basketball team won a third straight gold medal with a rout of Serbia, USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said other countries need to find a way to be more competitive. "I'm all for raising the bar for global basketball," Colangelo told reporters Sunday. Basketball is the No. 2 sport in the world, [but] we just need to see these other countries get their acts together and become more competitive." The Americans went undefeated throughout the Olympic tournament, but several games were closer than expected, including a six-point win over Spain in the semifinals and three-point victories over France and Serbia in pool play.
