Cracking jokes, doing Chappelle impersonations, having a sno-cone.

Now that is LOL-worthy.

No shame in being second-best team in the world. Spain gave it a good ride. USA was the better team. Good, competitive game today.

There is no glory in second when you throw a game and talk about having the blueprint just to face the U.S. in the Gold Medal game. Do all of that, win the thing.

If I was coaching the best players in the world, I’d be cold chillin’ on the side. Cracking jokes, doing Chappelle impersonations, having a sno-cone.

Enjoy the ride, coach.

Yes, in fact respected journalistic institutions such as the USA Today Group have written articles filled with words on this topic.

Link? I recall members of the current team saying that, but don’t recall a single journalist agreeing with them.
