Today, Spoelstra talked about coaching the US men's basketball team in an interview.

Spoelstra said: "There is no doubt that I am deeply honored. I mean, this is definitely an honor that is once in a lifetime. I am very grateful to have been given this opportunity and I cherish the experience of being a member of the American basketball system. The Olympic Games themselves are meaningful no matter where they are held, and to have the opportunity to lead the team in my home country (USA - Los Angeles Olympics), this experience is unparalleled."
