Pan American Mens Basketball
Team.
Few entered his first USA
Basketball head coach position
after having served as an
Gonzaga University assistant coach for the gold
medalist 2012 USA U18
National Team, and he was a
court coach for the 2009 USA
Men's U19 World Championship/World University Games
Team training camp.
Its an honor to represent our country and also be
associated with USA Basketball, Few said. Ive had a
great time with all of my other USA Basketball experiences, and Im really looking forward to working with
Mike (Brown), Tad (Boyle), Sean (Ford), B.J (Johnson)
and this team.
Few has established himself as one of the most successful coaches in NCAA Division I basketball in his 16
seasons at the helm, and in the process has made Gonzaga basketball a household name across the country.
He served as an assistant coach at GU for 10 seasons
prior to take the reins of the program.
Among his many eye-popping accomplishments, Few
ranks as the winningest active coach by percentage at
.810 (438-103). He is tied for 17th for fastest to 100
wins in Division I, accomplishing the feat in 126 games;
is third fastest to 200 wins, reaching the milestone in
247 games; is tied for sixth fastest to 300 wins, achieving his 300th win in his 347th game; is fifth fastest to
400 wins, achieving the milestone in 499 games.
He ranks in the Top 15 among active Division I
coaches for most 20-win seasons with 16, and amazingly
he has never won less than 20 games in a season.
Gonzaga made a 17th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2015, a streak that started when Few was an
assistant coach in 1999 and currently ranks the Zags
tied for fourth among current active streaks behind
Kansas, Duke and Michigan State.
When Dan Monson departed for the University of
Minnesota following that Elite Eight season, Few was
named head coach and has continued the streak the
past 16 years.
Few has put together one of the most dominating
runs in NCAA history, especially in the West Coast Con-

Coach
ference. The Zags have won or shared 15 regular season

league titles in his 16 seasons (all but the 2011-12 season) and taken home the conference tournament championship 12 times. The Bulldogs won or shared 12
straight West Coast Conference regular-season titles
from 2000 through 2011, which was the second-best
streak all-time in the NCAA Division I ranks behind
UCLAs 13 Pacific-10 Conference titles from 1967-79.
Few has led Gonzaga to five Sweet 16 appearances
(2000, 2001, 2006, 2009 and 2015), and has also cultivated NBA talent, including current NBA players in Kelly
Olynyk, Austin Daye, Rob Sacre and Ronny Turiaf. He
also helped recruit and develop Dan Dickau, Richie
Frahm, Adam Morrison, Jeremy Pargo and Elias Harris,
all NBA players. Morrison became the highest-drafted
player in GU history when he was taken No. 3 overall by
the Charlotte Bobcats in 2006.
In 2014-15, Fews Bulldogs again reigned supreme in
the West Coast Conference, sweeping the WCC regular
season and conference tournament titles for the 12th
time in his tenure. GU put together a record of 35-3, including a 17-1 league mark on
the way to the NCAA Tournament. In the NCAAs, the second-seeded Bulldogs took
down 15th-seeded North
Dakata State, seventh-seeded
Iowa, and 11th-seeded UCLA
before falling to top-seeded
and eventual NCAAchamp
Duke in the Elite Eight.
Few has evolved Bulldog
basketball into an annual participant in the NCAA Tournament and into one of the elite
programs on the West Coast
as well as nationally. Since
1992 his first year as a fulltime assistant coach with
the Bulldogs Gonzaga has posted a 575-174 record for
a .76859 winning percentage.
A 10-year Gonzaga assistant head coach, Few was
named head coach July 26, 1999, following Monsons
departure for the University of Minnesota. Few originally
joined the Bulldogs for the 1989-90 season as a graduate assistant under former head coach Dan Fitzgerald,
then was promoted to a fulltime assistant for the 1991-92
season.
He was named associate head coach in April of 1999
following a season in which the Bulldogs became the basketball darlings of the nation on their March run which
saw Gonzaga come within a few ticks of the clock of advancing to the Final Four. A loss to eventual national
champion University of Connecticut in the West Regional
Finals in Phoenix, Ariz., ended the Cinderella story that
captured basketball fans from coast to coast.
Few and his wife Marcy, have four children parents;
Austin James (A.J.); Joseph Dillon; Julia Ann Elizabeth;
and Colt Walker Norman.

Number one, its a great honor, Boyle said of his selection to the USA coaching
staff. Anytime you are asked
to serve your country and an
organization such as USA
Basketball, its an honor. To
have an opportunity to be
around a guy like Mark Few,
who is a heck of a coach, and
I consider him a good friend,
is another added bonus. Its a
tremendous honor.
And Mike Brown, hes
been a head coach in the
NBA, Boyle added. He has
coached the best players in
the world. To learn from him
and what the pro game is like
will be beneficial as well. Im
looking forward to the opportunity. Its going to be a lot of
fun an intense month, but
an enjoyable one.
In five years Boyle has accomplished only what a select few have done before him
in the annals of the
University of Colorado mens basketball program.

of anyone before him. In addition, he already ranks
fourth all-time in victories and has accomplished what no

2015-16 season with a .614 winning percentage, the
second-best winning percentage among all CU basketball
head coaches with a minimum of two years at the helm.
In five seasons, Boyle and his coaching staff have
rewritten the CU record book: 108-68 record (.614); a
.614 winning percentage that ranks second in school history (min. 2 years); a 72-14 mark at home (.837).
Boyles 108 wins are the most wins by one CU coach in

NCAA 2nd Round; 2013-14:
NCAA 2nd Round; 2014-15:
CBI Quarterfinals); the first CU
coach to win 20 games in each
of his first four years and first
CU coach to have four, 20-win
seasons.
He has compiled a 15-9
(.625) mark in postseason
games (10-4 conference, 3-1
NIT, 1-3 NCAA, 1-1 CBI) over
the last five years. The 15 wins
and .625 winning percentage
are school records.
His CU teams are 8-3 in the
Pac-10/Pac-12 Conference
Tournament history (.727), and
have advanced to the conference tournament semifinals
three of the last five years
(Pac-12: 2014 & 2012; Big 12:
2011).
In his first season (201011), Boyle began to set the
standard for exciting things to come, capping the season
with a trip to the Worlds Most Famous Arena - Madison
Square Garden and a National Invitation Tournament
semifinal appearance. The Buffaloes won a school-record
24 games, including 18 school-best wins at the Coors

In year three (2012-13), Boyle guided the Buffs to another NCAA Tournament appearance, the second year in-arow, becoming the first CU coach in 50 years to guide the
program to back-to-back tournament appearances. CU won

I'm excited for this
opportunity, Brown
said. It is always a
thrill to represent the
United States. I have
always admired and
respected Mark Few
and Tad Boyle, and I
always appreciate being around bright coaches
like them. And, at the same time, I look forward

12
Eastern Conference All-Stars at the 2009 All-Star Game in

Phoenix, Arizona.
After posting a 50-32 record in 2005-06, which was the
most wins as a first-year head coach in team history,

up with another 50-win season (50-32) in his second year,
45 wins (45-37) in his third year, 66 wins (66-16) in his
fourth year and 61 wins during season number five.

Mens Pan American Games
History (1951-2011)
SIXTEENTHPANAMERICANGAMES--2011
Guadalajara, Mexico
October 26-30, 2011
With the 2011 Pan American Games men's basketball competition

being held Oct. 26-30, USA Basketball fielded a team that featured
players and coaches from the NBA Development League. While a frigid
shooting day versus host Mexcio in the medal round semifinals eliminated the Americans from the gold medal hunt, the U.S. perservered to
earn its first Pan American Games medal since 1999 when it defeated
the Dominican Republic 94-92 to capture the bronze medal.
Directed by Tulsa 66ers head coach Nate Tibbetts, the U.S. was led
by Lance Thomas' double-double of 15 points and 16 rebounds, but it
was Marcus Lewis two blocked shots in the games final 12 seconds
that earned the USA a 77-76 victory over the Dominican Republic in
both teams opening game.
The USA mounted a miraculous comeback to record an impressive
88-77 win over Brazil. Behind Blake Ahearns 21 points ,and Justin
Dentmons 16 points, the USA stormed back from 17 points down midway in the third quarter to claim a remarkable 11-point win. Assured of
Group B's No. 1 seed for the medal round after making the plays needed in the closing minutes to win their first two games at the Pan
American Games, the USA came up short and fell 82-80 to Uruguay in
its final preliminary round game. The game came down to plays in the
final minute and Uruguay made enough to slip past the U.S. Jerome
Dyson paced the U.S. with 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the floor
and 4-of-6 from 3-point.
Carrying Group B's No. 1 seed into the medal round semifinals,
there couldnt have been a worse time for the USAs shooting to go
South. Making just 32.7 percent (18-53) of its shots for the game and
sinking only 23.5 percent of its attempts from behind the 3-point line,
the USA fell 71-55 to host Mexico who was spurred on to the win by a
capacity and rautous crowd. Leo Lyons finished as the USAs leading
scorer with 13 points and made 5-of-7 shots overall and was a perfect
3-of-3 from 3-point. Dyson added 10 points and five rebounds, while
Ahearn tossed in nine points, and Donald Sloan accounted for seven
points and a USA best eight rebounds.
Behind a balanced scoring effort that saw all 12 USA players score,
including five in double digits, the USA fought to a well earned 94-92
bronze medal game victory over the Dominican Republic. In an offensive game that saw the two teams combine to score 186 points, the
games outcome was decided by a defensive stop by the American
squad in the final seconds. Clinging to a 94-92 lead, the USA's 6-foot-8
Thomas well defended the Domican's 3-point attempt that missed its
mark and the USA had its narrow win and the 2011 Pan American
Games bronze medals. The USAs offensive showing was led by
Thomas, who finished with 14 points. Lewis added 12 points and seven
rebounds, Dentmon tallied 12 points and five assists, Sloan scored 11
and Lyons finished with 10 points. Gregory Stiemsma tied a USA single
game record for blocked shots with four, and added six points and two
rebounds in 13 minutes of action.
"Im excited about this. Its our first medal since 1999 and Im
really proud of our guys for bouncing back after a tough loss yesterday
(versus Mexico) and coming out and playing hard this morning, said
Tibbetts following his squad's determined showing in the bronze medal
game.

FIFTEENTHPANAMERICANGAMES--2007
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
July 25-29, 2007
As the youngest team in the competition, the 2007 USA Men's Pan
American Team took a little time to gel but avenged an earlier loss to
close with three straight wins and a fifth-place finish in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil.
Mentored by Villanova head coach Jay Wright, the USA opened
with an 81-72 setback against Uruguay on July 25.
D.J. White and Maarty Leunen headed the U.S. effort with 14
points apiece and added nine and seven rebounds, respectively, but
Esteban Bastista, who also plays for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, was too
much for the red, white and blue in the initial contest. Batista scored 25
points, including 14 in the first half.
In game two against Panama, Team USA raced off to a 14-5 lead
after a 10-0 run, spurred by Drew Neitzel's eight points. The red, white
and blue held a 29-15 advantage, but the motor suddenly stalled. For
the next eight minutes until the end of the first half, the USA managed
two field goals while Panama put up 16 points to even the score at 3333 by intermission. Similarly, Panama closed the third quarter with a
17-4 run and held a 57-44 lead heading to the final frame. Shan Foster's
third 3-ball of the game brought the U.S. within 59-52, but Panama's
Danilo Pinnock drained a trio of 3-pointers after that time to secure a
75-67 Panama win. Roy Hibbert scored 19 points in the USA setback.
On its way to the first of three consecutive triumphs, Team USA
handed Argentina the first of three straight setbacks. White again came
up big, scoring 22 points, including the first six points of the fourth
quarter to break a 59-59 tie with the Argentines. Later, with a battle still
on their hands and the score standing at 73-71 USA, Neitzel missed a

jumper, but Joey Dorsey converted the first of two last-minute putbacks.
White missed a jumper with 22 seconds remaining, but Dorsey was
there again. Argentina fouled the Memphis big-man who hit the first of
two free throws for the final 74-71 USA margin.
White's 22 points and 13 rebounds were plenty of power for a 84-58
USA defeat of the Virgin Islands, as the USA learned increasingly to
rely on post play. White and Hibbert tallied 11 and seven points each by
halftime and put up 24 points in the paint overall in Team USA's second-straight win.
Behind by as many as 13 points and playing for payback, the USA
gutted out a 77-74 win over Panama to claim fifth place. Low led the
way with 16 points while Foster and White recorded 14 points each.
Exchanging runs throughout the game, Leunen, and the Americans
mounted an 18-7 run to close the third quarter. Low took the reigns
from there. The Washington State guard scored the first six points in the
fourth quarter to push his team to a 60-56 lead. With the lead going
back and forth, Panama took a 71-70 edge at 1:34 on the clock. Driving,
Low cut into the hoop and made two field goals. The second was a 3point play opportunity, but Low missed the free throw, giving Panama a
chance to tie on a 3. This time Panama missed and was forced to foul
White who made one of two foul shots for a 75-71 USA lead with 19.3
seconds left. With 11.4 ticks, Panama hit a long-range triple to trim the
game to the tightest of margins, 75-74, and promptly fouled Leunen.
Game on the line? No problem for Leunen who hit the pair of foul shots
to extend the U.S. lead to 77-74.

FOURTEENTHPANAMERICANGAMES--2003
Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic
August 2-6, 2003
In every game until the final buzzer, the USA men suffered three
narrow defeats in five games to place fourth at the 2003 Pan American
Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Coached by Michigan State University's Tom Izzo, the U.S. squad
comprised of collegians posted a 2-3 record, losing its three games by
one, six, and 12 points in a game the U.S. led by two with just over four
minutes left.
The 2003 Pan American Games featured eight men's teams divided
into two preliminary groups of four teams each.
The USA men opened the tournament in dramatic fashion, rallying
in the final minute to record an 80-79 victory over favorite Argentina on
Aug. 2 as Chuck Hayes led the scoring attack with 17 points on 7-of-10
shooting. Trailing 71-63 with 5:37 left, Hayes started the U.S. on the
comeback trail with a pair of baskets. Then Rickey Paulding hit a
3-pointer, and after Hayes nailed a pair of free throws, the USA was
back on top 74-73 with 2:50 left. Tied at 74, Blake Stepp drilled a
25-foot 3-pointer to give the USA a lead it would not relinquish.
In its second wild ride in as many nights, the USA saw Andre
Barrett's baseline jumper rim out at the horn to find itself on the short
end of an 86-85 score against Puerto Rico on Aug. 3. The USA was led
in scoring by Barrett's 16 points, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range.
Arthur Johnson contributed 15 points and eight rebounds.
In need of a victory to advance to medal round semifinals, for the
third consecutive night the outcome was decided in the final seconds as
the USA fought its way to a 74-72 win over Uruguay on Aug. 4. With
the USA leading 73-72 and 29 seconds to go, Barrett reached in to tie

up the ball and earn possession back for the USA. Paulding hit the back
end of a two-shot foul with eight seconds left to give the U.S. a tenuous
two-point cushion, and when Uruguays would-be game-winning three
clanged off the iron as the horn sounded, the Americans had the
thrilling 74-72 win. Johnson led the USA effort with 17 points, supported by Barrett's 11 and 10 from Hayes.
Cold shooting at precisely the wrong time relegated the USA to the
bronze medal game. With the U.S. leading 76-74 and 4:18 remaining,
Brazil went on a 13-0 tear to score a 92-80 victory on Aug. 5. Emeka
Okafor scored 18, and the USA's effort was further supported by Hayes'
15 points and game best 13 boards. Paulding contributed 11 points.
Team USA failed to medal at the Pan Ams for just the second time
when it fell 76-70 in a rematch with Puerto Rico in the bronze medal
game on Aug. 6. The U.S. was within three, 63-60, with 3:49 remaining, but the USA comeback hopes were dashed when Puerto Rico reeled
off seven unanswered points to go up 70-60 with 1:22 left to insure
their claim on the bronze. The USA was led by Ben Gordon's 12 points,
while Okafor scored 10 points and Hayes added 10 points and nine
rebounds. Brandon Mouton grabbed a game high 10 rebounds.
Brazil won the gold medal for a second consecutive Pan Am Games
after blowing out host Dominican Republic 89-62.
The United States effort was led by Okafor who posted a team
high average of 12.0 ppg., Hayes accounted for 11.2 ppg. and a team
leading 7.6 rpg., while Johnson finished averaging 10.0 ppg. Barrett,
who was credited with 9.2 ppg., led the team in assists averaging 2.4

help lift the Americans to the win. Williams finished with a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Blackwell finished with 11 points
and four assists.
For the third consecutive game, the USA found itself trailing by a
double-digit margin in the first half, but this time it was unable to
bounce back as Brazil earned a 95-78 win in the gold medal clash.
Leading 49-36 at the intermission, Brazil started the second half by
outscoring the Americans 10-3 to move ahead 59-39 with 16:04 to go.
The USA went on a 14-2 run to cut Brazil's lead to eight points, 61-53,
with 12:00 remaining, but Brazil answered with a 7-2 run to regain
control 68-55 with 9:02 to play. The USA made one late charge to cut
Brazil's lead to 78-70 with 4:12 to go, but the Brazilians responded by
making 12-of-14 free throws down the stretch to secure the 95-78 win
and the gold medal. Bailey scored 14 points, and Hawkins finished with
13 points in the loss.
Leading the United States in scoring and rebounding was forward
Williams, who averaged 12.8 ppg. and 7.6 rpg. Hawkins, a member of
the bronze medal winning 1998 USA Basketball Men's World
Championship Team, averaged 11.8 ppg. and a team high 4.6 apg.
Thomas, the only returning member of the silver medal winning 1995
USA Basketball Men's Pan American Games Team, averaged 11.8 ppg.
and shot a sizzling 58.3 percent (21-36 FGs) from the field, and Bailey
averaged 10.0 ppg.

TWELFTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1995
Mar del Plata, Argentina
March 19-25, 1995
The USA's quest to regain the Pan American Games gold medal
again fell short as host Argentina twice beat the U.S. contingent and
claimed the gold. The USA earned the silver while Brazil captured the
bronze.
Because of the March timing of the 95 Pan Am Games, U.S.
college players were unable to be considered for this team. Instead,
USA Basketball turned to the Continental Basketball Association
(CBA), which agreed to allow players from its teams to miss some of
the regular season in order to participate.
Opening against host Argentina, with the backing of a raucous soldout crowd numbering over 8,000 and behind the play of guard Juan
Espil, Argentina rallied from as many as 15 points down in the second
half to edge the U.S. 68-67. The U.S. either led or was tied for the lead
from the 16:30 mark of the first half to the game's final second, however, Argentina's Diego Osella scored the game winning layup with one
second remaining to give Argentina the win. Carl Thomas led the U.S.
with 14 points, and Kelsey Weems added 12. Espil finished with 27
points, 23 coming in the second half.
One night later the USA watched victory again slip away in the
game's final seconds when Brazil's Joao Guia scored on a drive with
15.6 seconds left, and the U.S. failed to score on its last possession as
Brazil slipped past the Americans 101-98. Sean Gay led the U.S. with
22 points, and A.J. Wynder added 19. Looking for its first win, the U.S.
led from start to finish in a 97-78 victory over Puerto Rico. Thomas led
the U.S. with 22 points, Brian Davis added 18, while Scott Paddock finished with 14 points and 17 rebounds, and Chuckie White had 13 points
and a game high 18 rebounds.

Squandering a lead late, the U.S. recovered in overtime to capture a
104-96 win over Uruguay as 6-7 White had a huge game for the U.S.,
recording 23 points and 21 rebounds. Behind 17 points from Dave
Jamerson, the U.S. stormed to its third consecutive victory in impressive style, romping to a 104-80 win over Mexico.
Meeting Brazil in the semifinals, Rumeal Robinson scored 22
points as the U.S. avenged its earlier setback with an 89-85 victory to
earn a berth into the gold medal game.
Argentina, motivated by another overflowing vocal and partisan
crowd estimated at 9,000, held off a late USA rally to capture a 90-86
victory and the 1995 Pan American Games men's basketball gold
medal. It was Argentina's first ever Pan Am men's basketball gold
medal.
The crowd was maniacal...You couldn't hear yourself on the
court, stated U.S. head mentor Mike Thibault of the crowd.
The first half was all offense, with the two teams combining for 111
points as Argentina held a 60-51 advantage at halftime. In the first half,
Argentina shot a sizzling 71.4 percent (20-28 FGs) while the U.S. managed to shoot 59.4 percent (19-32 FGs).
Trailing by as many as 13 points in the second half, the USA rallied
to take a 77-76 lead with 6:49 to play. But Argentina outscored the U.S.
nine to four over the next 4:23 to grab an 85-80 lead with 2:26 remaining, and the U.S. never got closer than three points again.
Robinson led the U.S. with 18 points, while Martin accounted for
15. Espil was the high scorer for Argentina with 22 points.

ELEVENTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1991
Havana,Cuba
August 3 - 17, 1991
Seeking to recapture the Pan American Games gold medal, which

the USA had lost to Brazil in 1987, the Americans again saw their
golden dreams dashed as Puerto Rico defeated the U.S. in the semifinals and went on to secure the gold. For the U.S., it was another good
showing that failed to realize the gold. The USA finished with a 6-1
record and the bronze medal.
Opening against host Cuba and playing in front of a capacity
home crowd, Thomas Hill of the U.S. initiated the competition by
shattering a backboard with a pre-game dunk. After a new backboard
was in place, the U.S. started slowly and at half trailed 50-47.
Dominating the first 15 minutes of the second half and taking control
86-72, the U.S. squad held on in the final five minutes and earned a
92-88 victory as James Jackson scored 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting
from the field, and Duke's Christian Laettner added 19 points.
Two days later, the U.S. again suffered through a sluggish first
half, posting just a six point lead over Venezuela, 43-37. But another
strong second half lifted the U.S. to a convincing 91-66 win as
Jackson and Laettner led the U.S. scoring attack again with 18 and 15
points, respectively. Argentina took the Americans to the limit before
the U.S. claimed an 87-81 win. With four minutes to play, the U.S.
held a 76-75 lead, but four points from Jackson and four from
Clarence Weatherspoon in the closing minutes helped lead the U.S.
seal the win. Jackson led the U.S. scoring with 17 points, Laettner
added 15 and Weatherspoon tossed in 14 points.
After a three-day break, the U.S. returned to the court facing the
Bahamas. Jumping out to an 18-0 lead, the U.S. continued its relent-
less running attack and went on to claim a 116-58 win as six U.S.
players scored in double figures. Terry Dehere tallied a game high 21
points, while Jackson and Walt Williams added 19 and 17 each.
Completing pool play with an unblemished 4-0 record, the U.S.
disposed of Uruguay 114-68 in the quarterfinals. Jumping out to a 9-0
lead, the USA never looked back as all 12 U.S. players scored in the
win, led by UCLA's Tracy Murray's 16 points.
Facing a veteran Puerto Rico team in the semifinals, the USA's
golden dreams received a blow when it was learned less than 24 hours
before the semifinals contest that Jackson, the USA's leading scorer,
would miss the remainder of the competition because of a stress fracture in his left foot.
The U.S. got off to a strong start and at halftime owned a 37-29
advantage over Puerto Rico. With 4:47 to play the Americans led 6463, but Puerto Rico reeled off eight straight points to take control 7164 with 1:34 to play. Although the U.S. cut that deficit to 71-68 with
44 seconds left, Puerto Rico made its free throws down the stretch to
take the 73-68 win. Williams led the U.S. with 16 points, and Laettner
added 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Facing host Cuba in the bronze medal game, the U.S. controlled
the first half and led at the mid-way point 56-44. With 13:46 to go,
Cuba had rallied to within two, 63-61, but the U.S. regrouped and
went on to claim the 93-74 victory and Pan Am bronze. Six U.S. players scored in double digits, with Murray and Williams each accounting
for 15 points.

TENTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1987
Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
August 7-23, 1987
The 1987 Pan American Games marked the first time the event
was held in the United States since 1959 when the U.S. captured the
gold medal in Chicago, Illinois. This year, however, the fate of the
U.S. squad was not the same. Upset by Brazil in the championship,
the United States was denied the gold medal for just the second time
in 36-year Pan American history.
Head coach Denny Crum and the United States squad breezed its
way through its first five games, winning by an average margin of
over 29 points. Opening against Panama, six U.S. players scored in
double digits to pace the USA squad to a 91-63 win. Argentina fell
85-58 to the U.S. as all 12 USA team members scored.
The USA's shooting warmed up in its next three games, and the
offense responded with three consecutive 100-point games. Dropping
Mexico 105-73, the U.S. shot 59.2 percent from the floor, and Rex
Chapman scored 18 points. Defeating Venezuela 109-74 the following day, the U.S. again shot 59.2 percent from the floor as Chapman
scored 17 points and 7-1 David Robinson added 17 points and 11
rebounds. Shooting 60.9 percent from the floor, the U.S. beat
Uruguay 105-81 as every U.S. member scored, including seven in
double figures.
Standing 5-0, the U.S. team received its first test when it locked
horns with Puerto Rico in the semifinals. Tied at half 39-39, the USA
held a slim 74-72 lead heading into the final minute and eventually
posted an 80-75 win thanks to the dominating inside play of
Robinson and Danny Manning and a strong defense. The U.S. held
Puerto Rico to just 41.2 percent shooting and outrebounded them 4736. Robinson finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Manning
added 20 points and six boards.
With a sold-out Market Square Arena crowd of 16,408 in attendance, the 6-0 USA team took the court against a 5-1 Brazilian team.
The U.S. team, which had won 65 of 67 previous Pan American
Games, seemed in total control early, cruising to a 68-54 halftime
lead. But Brazil, behind international veterans Marcel Souza and
Oscar Schmidt, who accounted for 55 of Brazil's 66 second half
points, stormed back to capture the win, 120-115. The 29-year old
Schmidt put on an offensive display not many will ever forget, scoring 35 second-half points to help lead Brazil to its shocking 120-115
victory over the United States. Schmidt finished the game with 46
points (7-15 3-pt. FGs), and Souza added 31. Despite foul trouble,
which limited his playing time to 15 of the game's 40 minutes,
Robinson led the U.S. with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while the U.S.
scoring was rounded out with Chapman adding 17, Willie Anderson
16, Manning 14, Pervis Ellison 13 (12 rebounds) and Keith Smart
tossed in 12.
The United States, which lost only its third contest in the history
of the Pan American Games, was led offensively by all-Americans
Robinson and Manning. Manning led the squad in scoring averaging
14.6 ppg. and was the team's third leading rebounder, hauling down
5.9 rpg. Robinson was the team's leading rebounder grabbing 9.0 rpg.
and was the second leading scorer, averaging 14.0 ppg.

NINTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1983
Caracas, Venezuela
August 14-29, 1983
Featuring a roster filled with future professionals, the 1983

USA Pan American team, coached by Kansas State's Jack
Hartman, was as talented a group as any assembled in the history of the Pan American Games. Tested in several games, the
United States' solid play offensively as well as defensively carried the team to an unblemished 8-0 record, its third consecutive
gold medal, and extended the U.S. win streak to 28 games.
The USA was led by several future NBA standouts -- 6-6
Michael Jordan, 5-11 Mark Price, 6-9 Wayman Tisdale and 6-9
Sam Perkins. Jordan finished the competition averaging 17.3
ppg., while Tisdale pumped in 15.5 ppg. and Perkins added 13.1
ppg. Tisdale and Perkins also topped the U.S. in rebounding,
grabbing 7.1 rpg. and 5.9 rpg., respectively.
This USA team flirted with disaster from the start. Outside
shooting threat Chris Mullin was forced home before Pan Am
competition began after fracturing his foot in an exhibition game
in San Juan. The USA ranks were further reduced when inside
force Michael Cage returned home after two games because of
an illness in his family.
Opening against Mexico, the U.S. men spotted Mexico a
20-4 advantage before rallying to overcome 40.0 percent shooting from the field and capturing a 74-63 win. The Americans'
second win was another come-from-behind effort as a Jordan

slam as time expired insured the USA's 72-69 win over Brazil.
Facing host Venezuela, the USA found itself in another struggle.
However, Georgia Tech sophomore guard Mark Price stepped
forward and provided the U.S. with the needed spark, scoring 17
points on 8-of-13 shooting to help lift the USA to a 78-65 victory.
Advancing into the final round, the U.S. rolled past Canada
111-97 as Tisdale exploded for 29 points and 12 rebounds. Then,
behind Tisdale's 19 points and 18 more from Jordan, the U.S.
handed Mexico an 81-68 loss. Next the U.S. recorded a convincing 88-68 victory over Argentina as Jordan accounted for 24
points.
Balanced scoring was the key to the USA's second win over
Brazil. Earning an 87-79 win, six U.S. players scored in double
digits, including 16 from Jordan and 16 from University of
Kentucky guard James Master. Price and Tisdale each added 12,
and Perkins and Leon Wood tossed in 10 apiece. Closing out the
competition against Puerto Rico, the U.S. scored a 101-85 victory as Tisdale scored 20 points and Perkins added 18 points and
11 rebounds.

EIGHTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1979
San Juan, Puerto Rico
July 1-15, 1979
The 1979 Pan American team was one of the United States'
youngest and most explosive squads ever. Behind the coaching of
Indiana University's Bob Knight, the USA cruised to a 9-0 record
and the gold medal, while averaging 100.8 ppg. It marked the first
time that a United States team had averaged more than 100 ppg. in
the Pan American Games.
The high-powered offense of the U.S. featured five players
who finished the competition averaging in double figures. Led by
6-5 Indiana University junior Mike Woodson, who averaged 18.3
ppg., collegiate All-Americans 6-7 Michael Brooks and 6-2 Kyle
Macy contributed 17.4 ppg. and 12.1 ppg., respectively, while
Mike O'Koren and Ronnie Lester also averaged in double figures.
The USA's talent-laced roster also featured Minnesota junior
Kevin McHale and recent high school graduates Ralph Sampson
and Isiah Thomas, who would all go on to stardom in the NBA.
Defeating the Virgin Islands 136-88, the USA was led by
Woodson's 24 points, while O'Koren and Brooks each tossed in 21
points and Lester added 20. Knight's cagers handed Cuba an 85-53
setback as Brooks scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the
field, while Lester accounted for 14 points and Sampson added 10
points.
Brazil proved a much tougher opponent, but behind a balanced
scoring attack that featured five players scoring in double figures,

including 19 from Brooks and 17 from Macy, the U.S. recorded an

82-78 victory. McHale's 17 points and seven rebounds helped lift
the U.S. over Panama 88-83, and Macy's 17 points pushed the
Americans to a 97-76 win over Canada. Woodson tallied a high of
30 points in the USA's 99-73 win over Argentina, then recorded
29-point showings in wins against Cuba and Brazil.
The United States clinched its seventh gold medal in eight
attempts with a 113-94 victory over host Puerto Rico. Facing an
outstanding team from Puerto Rico that had also compiled a perfect 8-0 mark prior to the Pan Am final, the U.S. relied on its balanced but high-powered offense for the win. Brooks led the USA
team in its win over Puerto Rico compiling 27 points and 13
rebounds, while Indiana standout Woodson and future Hoosier
great Thomas added 23 and 21 points, respectively.
The winning of the gold medal did not take place without controversy. The first incident was the ejection of coach Knight from
the opening game against the Virgin Islands, a contest that the U.S.
went on to win 136-88. Knight also later had a run-in with a
policeman at a practice session. Another occurrence took place
during the second USA-Cuba contest as Macy suffered a broken
jaw after being punched by Tomas Herrara of Cuba. Macy missed
the final two USA games, while Herrara was only ejected from the
game.

SEVENTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1975
Mexico City, Mexico
October 12-26, 1975
The USA team that traveled to Mexico City in 1975 was

looking to rebound the U.S. from its disappointing performance
four years earlier when the USA failed to advance to the medal
round despite a 2-1 preliminary record. This time the tournament
setup had been altered, and for the first time in Pan American
Games competition a round-robin format was used.
The 1975 USA group, coached by Marv Harshman of the
University of Washington, relied on a balanced offensive attack
that averaged 98.8 ppg. without an offensive "star," while compiling a perfect record of 9-0 and capturing the gold medal.
Future NCAA All-Americans Otis Birdsong and Ernie
Grunfeld, headed the USA's balanced offensive attack, averaging
14.4 ppg. and 12.2 ppg., respectively, while little known and
future NBA All-Star Robert Parish, Norm Cook and Johnny
Davis also averaged double figures for the gold-medal USA
team. Parish and Leon Douglas finished as the USA's leading
rebounders.
Behind balanced scoring that saw all 12 USA players score,
including 24 points from Cook, the U.S. opened the '75 Games
with a 103-62 win over Argentina. Meeting host Mexico and
playing in front of 15,000 at the Sports Palace, the USA whipped
Mexico 99-70 as Birdsong scored 18 to lead the U.S.
Although Puerto Rico would earn the silver medal in 1975, it

proved no match for the U.S. as the Americans cruised to an

85-53 win behind Bridsong's 18 points. Limiting Venezuela to
10 first half points, the U.S. led 43-10 at halftime and sailed to
an easy 97-32 win as Birdson and Douglas tossed in 15 and
14 points each. Playing its fifth game in six days, the USA
continued to roll as Grunfield and Cook each recorded 12 points,
and the U.S. posted an 87-62 win over defending gold medalist
Brazil.
With the U.S. backcourt of Davis and Birdsong accounting
for 19 and 18 points, respectively, the U.S. recorded a hard
fought 84-73 victory over Canada. Cuba gave the U.S. its toughest test of the Games, but Parish dominated the inside in the
USA's 84-78 victory. Parish, who scored 19 points and hauled
down eight rebounds, limited Cuba's Pedro Chappe, who had
been outstanding in Cuba's upset of the USA in 1971, to just 12
points and two rebounds.
Closing strong, the Virgin Islands were crushed 137-70 as
Bruce Parkinson led the way with 25 points, and nine U.S. players scored in double digits. Behind 17 points from 7-1 Wayne
Tree Rollins, the U.S. finished with a 113-55 victory over the
Bahamas, in a game in which all 11 available U.S. men scored
and seven reached double digits.

SIXTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1971
Cali, Colombia
July 25 - August 8, 1971
Cali, Colombia, was the site of the 1971 Pan American

Games, and the Games proved to be an event that the United
States would soon wish to forget. Despite a record of 2-1 in the
preliminary round, the USA did not advance to the medal round
and, for the first time in Pan American history, did not win the
gold medal.
The 1971 Pan American Games basketball competition were
marked by several controversies. The first controversy regarded
the seeding of the teams by the organizing committee. Relying
on three preliminary groups (two consisting of four teams, one
consisting of five teams), the top two finishers of each preliminary group were to advance on to the medal round.
The four strongest teams heading into the competition were
conceded to be Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the United States.
But Brazil, Cuba and the United States were all placed in the
same preliminary group. The three teams finished the preliminary round with identical records of 2-1, however, the USA was
eliminated on the basis of margins of victory.
Adding further controversy was the knowledge that the only
way Brazil and Cuba could advance over the U.S. was if Brazil
defeated Cuba by five points in the final preliminary-round
game. That's exactly what happened as Brazil won 73-68,

although Brazil had an 11-point lead with 1:50 remaining in the

game.
Carrying a 24-game win streak into the 1971 Pan American
Games competition, the United States' squad, despite having six
players score in double figures, dropped its opening game to
Cuba, 73-69. 6-7 Pedro Chappe, a 10-year veteran of the Cuban
team, led his squad to the upset with 25 points.
The USA followed that loss with an 81-79 overtime win
against Brazil, Brazil's only loss of the competition. 6-9 future
NBA legend Bob McAdoo provided the U.S. with the winning
margin, hitting a field goal with 15 seconds left in overtime. The
USA's winning cause was further assisted by the USA's 15-of-19
shooting from the foul line.
Closing out its preliminary group play with a 128-48 thumping of Surinam, the USA, Brazil and Cuba all finished the preliminary rounds with identical 2-1 win-loss records. Relying on
the point differentials between the tied teams (Brazil, Cuba,
USA), the U.S. failed to advance on to the medal round. And so,
for the first time in the history of the Pan American Games, a
team other than the United States returned home with the gold
medal as Brazil claimed the title with a narrow 73-71 defeat of
Puerto Rico in the finals.

FIFTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1967
Winnipeg, Canada
July 24 - August 6, 1967
The United States' 131-43 opening victory over Colombia

was an early indication of just how powerful this team would be.
The USA swept through the preliminary and medal rounds to
capture the '67 Games gold medal with an unblemished record
of 9-0. Winning its nine games by an average margin of victory
of 43.6 points, the U.S. extended its Pan American Games winning streak to 24 straight games.
The United States' squad, which was coached by Hal Fischer
who had guided the 1951 USA Pan American Games team to its
gold medal finish, was led by the all-around play of two-time
Louisville All-American (1968, 1967) and future NBA all-star
Wes Unseld. Unseld's 11.6 ppg. average (third on the team),
along with his rebounding and passing helped lead the USA to
its gold medal finish.
However, Unseld was not the only future NBA standout to
contribute heavily to the 1967 squad. 6-3 Jo Jo White, who
would go on to star on the 1968 USA Olympic team and in the
NBA, and Darel Carrier of Western Kentucky University also
were key factors as they topped the USA in scoring with averages of 13.9 ppg. and 12.0 ppg., respectively.
The Americans dominated their preliminary round

opponents, easily winning all four games by a dominating
margin of victory that was over 55 points per contest.
Opening the preliminary round with an 131-43 thumping of
Colombia, the U.S. squad finished the preliminary round with
three additional impressive one-sided victories. Pounding Peru
93-37, the U.S. ran roughshould over Panama 122-73, and
closed out the preliminary round with an 80-52 decision over
Puerto Rico.
The medal round proved almost as easy as the U.S. sailed
past its competition to claim the gold. Leading Cuba by just four
points at half, 40-36, behind the play of Carrier, the U.S. broke
the game open in the second half and went on to claim a 91-71
win, with Carrier accounting for a USA single-game scoring
record 32 points. Panama was handed a 90-44 setback by the
U.S. contingent, and with five U.S. players scoring in double
figures, the U.S. easily discarded of Puerto Rico for the second
time, 89-53.
Argentina was unable to slow the U.S. in a 106-55 loss, and
the U.S. locked up the gold medal by defeating Mexico 93-74.

FOURTHPANAMERICANGAMES--1963
Sao Paulo, Brazil
April 20 - May 5, 1963
The United States entered the 1963 Pan American Games in

Sao Paulo, Brazil, with the goal of winning the USA's fourth
gold medal in as many tries. Winning six games by an average
margin of almost 30 points, the USA successfully defended its
championship, captured the gold medal and extended its Pan
American Games winning streak to 15 consecutive games. But,
as had been the case in each of the previous Pan American
Games, the USA's gold medal did not come easily.
Head coach Garland Pinholster of Oglethorpe (GA)
University guided the squad to one impressive win after another.
The closest contest for the American cagers in their six games
was a 12-point victory over Brazil.
Opening against Puerto Rico, 6-8 Ohio State junior allAmerican Gary Bradds scored a team high 17 points, and 6-10
future NBA all-star Willis Reed tossed in 15 points as the U.S.
handled Puerto Rico 93-65.
Behind a 14-point effort from Bradds and 12 points from
both Melvin Peterson and Jerry Shipp, the U.S. ran by Canada
80-47. Shipp and 6-4 Edgar Smallwood accounted for 18 and 14
points, respectively, as the Americans overwhelmed Peru 10456. A balanced scoring effort that saw every USA player score
was key in the USA's 65-52 win over Uruguay, and Mexico was
little problem as Shipp and Lucious Jackson each scored 18
points to pace the U.S. to its 96-54 win.

Facing host Brazil in the final, it was reported that an estimated 30,000 fans jammed the 18,500 capacity stadium for the
gold medal game. Leading by five points at half, 36-31, the U.S.
team pulled away in the third quarter and went on to record a
78-66 victory. Shipp led the USA with a game high 22 points,
however, it was the smallest member of the U.S. squad, 5-8
Vincent Ernst of Providence College, who was credited for
paving the way for the U.S. victory over Brazil. Scoring a total
of 24 points in the USA's first five games, Ernst accounted for
12 points in the final and was credited with numerous assists and
steals, while limiting Brazil's two-time Olympian Wlamir
Marques to just six points in the first three quarters of play.
However, the game was not without controversy. Following a
scuffle between a Brazilian and USA player late in the game, the
crowd proceeded to litter the floor with oranges, paper, ice
cream cones and other debris delaying the game's conclusion.
The 6-6 Shipp and 6-6 Donald Kojis led the gold medal winners averaging 15.0 ppg. and 11.5 ppg., respectively, while 6-8
Bradds, 6-3 Melvin Gibson and Reed rounded out the USA balanced offensive attack. Unfortunately, Walter Torrence was
forced to return to the United States after playing in the first
three games of the tournament because of a death in the family.

THIRDPANAMERICANGAMES--1959
Chicago, Illinois, USA
August 27 - September 7, 1959
Held in Chicago, Illinois, 1959 marked the first time that the Pan
American Games were held in the USA. Coach Fred Schaus of West
Virginia and his 14-member squad marched through the competition
with a perfect 6-0 record to capture the USA's third consecutive Pan
American Games basketball gold.
For the first time in Pan American Games competition, the USA
team was selected in the same manner as the 1956 U.S. Olympic team
was. Two all-star teams, one of college players selected by a special
committee at the end of the NCAA Tournament and a service squad
chosen after the inter-service tournament, plus the first two teams in
the National AAU Tournament, met in a three night round-robin tournament.
The college all-stars topped the competition with a 3-0 record and
were followed by the AAU Phillips 66ers (2-1), Wichita Vickers (1-2)
and the Armed Forces (0-3). The two AAU teams had been further
strengthened by the addition of players from other AAU teams that
competed in the AAU Tournament. From the tryout, five collegians
were selected, three players from the U.S. Armed Forces and six players from AAU teams were named to the 1959 U.S. Pan American
Games roster. Schaus, who directed the College All-Stars, was named
head coach and Warren Womble of the AAU Peoria Caterpillars, who
had served as head coach of the 1952 USA Olympic team, served as
Schaus' assistant.
Led by then standout collegians and future NBA legends Oscar
Robertson and Jerry West, the closest any team came to the United
States was 14 points when Brazil fell to the U.S. men 93-79 in the final
contest. Boasting a high powered offense, the USA team also featured
a solid defense which limited four of its six opponents to fewer than 58
points. The U.S. squad won their six games by an average of 39.5
points.
Opening against Canada, Robertson scored 21 points and West
added 15 more as the U.S. earned a 93-73 victory. A balanced offensive attack that saw 13 of 14 USA players score lifted the Americans
past Puerto Rico 89-57. Cuba was no problem as the U.S., behind 19
points from Daniel Swartz, sailed to a 114-46 win. El Salvador fell
101-42 to the USA squad as Burdette Haldorson led the U.S. with 14
points. Mexico was next to fall as Jack Adams tossed in 15 points in
the USA's 101-57 win.
In its closest encounter, a 93-79 victory, the U.S. broke open its
contest with Brazil early, commanding a 11-4 lead after just four minutes, a 27-11 advantage after 10 minutes and a 51-35 lead at halftime.
The "Big O" (Robertson) led the U.S. with 29 points and played just
three quarters, while George BonSalle added 19 points, and West and
Gary Thompson each scored 11.
The 6-5 Robertson, a three-time college All-American at
Cincinnati (1958-60) led the team in scoring, averaging 16.5 ppg.,
while the 6-3 West, a two-time college All-American at West Virginia
(1959-60), averaged 11.3 ppg. Swartz also averaged in double figures
for the USA, at 10.2 ppg.

SECONDPANAMERICANGAMES--1955
Mexico City, Mexico
March 12-26, 1955
After capturing the gold medal in the inaugural Pan American

Games, the United States entered the 1955 Games at Mexico City,
Mexico, eager to repeat. Although the USA suffered its first defeat in
Pan American competition, the team regrouped and won its final three
games to capture the 1955 gold medal.
As was the case in 1951, selection of the 1955 USA Pan American
Games basketball team was again no easy task. Originally, the U.S.
Olympic Committee announced that the 1955 Pan American Games
team would consist of five AAU players, four college players and five
players from the Armed Forces.
But because of the game's March competition dates, college student-athletes could not compete. Instead, the U.S. Olympic Committee
decided that the 1955 team would consist of seven players from the
AAU and seven players from the U.S. Armed Forces. The 1954 AAU
champion Peoria Caterpillars were unavailable because they were representing the USA at the 1955 World Championship, so the 1954 AAU
runner-up Grihalva Buicks of San Diego, Calif., were chosen. A camp
featuring 20 of the Armed Forces' top players was held at WrightPatterson Air Force Base (OH) to determine the Armed Forces' seven
players.
A series of games between the Grihalva Buicks and the Armed
Forces took place in San Diego to determine who would serve as head
coach. Lt. Norman Pilgrim was selected as the head coach after his
armed forces team claimed two wins over the AAU team, and AAU
coach Fon Johnson was named the assistant.

Opening the round-robin competition facing Brazil, the U.S. led

30-27 at half and broke the game wide open in the second half and
went on to claim a 78-49 win as Melvin Kelley and Donald Byrd
paced the U.S. with 14 and 13 points each. Facing Argentina next, the
USA squad fell behind early and at half trailed 29-23. Argentina
expanded its lead to as many as 12 midway in the third quarter, but the
U.S. rallied and took a one-point lead with about a minute to play.
However, three consecutive turnovers doomed the U.S. to its first loss,
54-53. Byrd led the U.S. with 19 points, while Robert Williams added
14.
The U.S. regrouped to claim convincing wins in its final three
games. Behind Robert Kenney's 17 points and 15 points from John
Hoverder, the U.S. easily disposed of host Mexico 85-55. Cuba proved
no problem either, and the Americans won 84-56 as Williams poured in
24 points to lead the way. The USA's final game was another lopsided
victory as the U.S. captured a 72-29 win over Venezuela. Williams
scored 16 points, and 12 of the USA's 14 players scored.
Thanks to Brazil's 61-57 win over Argentina, the United States,
Brazil and Argentina all finished with identical records of 4-1 and in a
three-way tie for first. The final medal standings were determined on
the point spread between the three teams in their games against each
other. Relying on this system, the United States was declared the winner of the gold medal with a plus 28, while Argentina, with a minus
three, earned the silver and Brazil, minus 25, was awarded the bronze.

FIRSTPANAMERICANGAMES--1951
Buenos Aires, Argentina
February 25 - March 8, 1951
As an international power, the United States was the favorite

to win the gold medal at the first Pan American Games, held in
1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Behind the expertise of cocoaches Hal Fischer of the AAU Blue 'n Gold (Oakland, Calif.)
and John Longfellow of Indiana State, the USA proved everyone
right as it rolled to a 6-0 record and the inaugural Pan American
gold medal.
Selection of the U.S. team may have been the USA's biggest
hurdle. With competition slated for February - March, many college student-athletes could not participate because of classes.
Because the Games' dates were announced too late for tryouts,
the Olympic Basketball Committee decided to select two coachmanagers and a team of 14 with seven from the NCAA and
seven from the AAU. The committee's first choice to represent
the NCAA was the 1950 NCAA tournament champion (NYCC),
with the runner-up a second choice. Third choice was the winner
of the 1950 NIT Tournament (NYCC), and the winner of the
NAIB Tournament was the fourth alternative. After NYCC and
Bradley turned down the offer to participate, NAIB champ,
Indiana State, accepted. The Phillips Oilers, winners of the
national AAU tournament in Denver in 1950, also declined, so
the AAU's runner-up team, Blue 'n Gold, agreed to go along
with their coach Hal Fischer.

The U.S. team relied on strong rebounding and the fast-break
to power its offense and played aggressive man-to-man defense.
After defeating its first five opponents rather easily, the average
margin of victory in the first five games was more than 25
points, and the United States faced host Argentina in the final.
Played at 1 a.m., more than 25,000 fans packed Luna Park
Arena, and it was reported thousands more waited outside. The
gold medal game appeared to be a run-away as the USA team
jetted out to a 26-8 lead. But foul trouble began to slow the
Americans, and by the half the U.S. lead had dwindled to 29-23.
Four of the USA's top players fouled out early in the second half
(Barksdale, Faszholz, Powell and Leslie), and with just four
minutes left, the U.S. held a narrow 50-48 lead. Turning to the
stall, the USA escaped with a 57-51 win to capture the first
men's basketball gold medal of the Pan American Games.
The United States' inaugural Pan American Games team was
led by the scoring of Blue 'n Gold team members Donald
Barksdale and Charles O'Neill. Barksdale poured in 22.5 ppg.,
while O'Neill added 10.7 ppg. To this day, Barksdale remains the
only USA player to average more than 20 ppg. in the Pan
American Games.
