JIMMER FREDETTE HIRED AS TEAM USA MEN'S BASKETBALL 3x3 MANAGING DIRECTOR

Jimmer Fredette’s hopes for an Olympic medal were dashed last year by injury. He’ll try again to lead USA Basketball to a medal at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Only this time, he won’t be playing.

Fredette was announced Monday as the first managing director of USA Basketball’s 3x3 men’s national team, the same role that Grant Hill has with the senior men’s national team. Fredette — the former NBA lottery pick and 2011 AP college player of the year who retired as a player last week — will essentially oversee the selection of players and coaches for major international competitions such as the FIBA World Cup, FIBA AmeriCup, the Pan American Games and ultimately the Olympics.
