22-30 September, and they're doing the whole thing in Tenerife around Santa Cruz. I was kinda hoping for Madrd or Barcelona when Spain won the bid, but I can live with it being on a sunny little island instead .
And I have not agreed to any threesomes. |

One could argue the opposite to that maybe they don't want any babies, problems etc. As fans we never know exactly how some of these players interact or practice or feel they need special treatment.

USA Basketball doesn't have to worry too much about winning gold -- any 12 of the top 25 or so would probably get it done -- so like most organizations in similar situations, it looks for reasons to cut players rather than keep them.
Parker obviously did something that annoyed a bunch of people, and USA Basketball's history is that once you're off the list, you can never get back on.
It's too bad, because she's a great player, but it actually makes it easier for USA Basketball when players, in essence, cut themselves due to real or perceived actions.

You act like they've never lost with a good team.

I disagree with the "any". If they were to put 12 raw dogs on the roster, it'd get scary. They need some of their pillars like Bird, Taurasi, Moore, Fowles, etc.

You seem to be an expert at this. Can Charles and McCoughtry miss this upcoming camp and still make the team later? Are their excuses good enough?

They never lost with a decent coach ...
And of course there has to be some balance with the 12, but the top 25 have enough talent to find 12 that can get it done.
Not that much of an expert, just going off the past. As far as I know, Charles and McCoughtry haven't annoyed anyone before, so maybe they get a pass. Or maybe not.
Generally, those who have been good soldiers can get a break.

Tara Vanderveer isn't a decent coach?

Is it obvious she did something to annoy a "bunch" of people? Or just an important person or two? Or, really, that she did anything at all?

What is obvious is it's in the past, but people just won't let it go.
