Several Providence Recruits Among 57 Invited to USA Basketball Junior National Team Minicamp
USA Basketball has become a big part of Providence’s basketball program because head coach Ed Cooley has taken on growing responsibilities with the organization over the last few years. In the summer of 2013 Cooley was a court coach during training camp in Colorado Springs. In 2014 Cooley was named as an assistant coach on Billy Donovan’s staff for the U18 USA National Team that participated and won gold at the 2014 FIBA Americas U18 Championship. After Donovan took the head coaching job with the Oklahoma City Thunder Cooley’s fellow assistant on Donovan’s U18 staff Sean Miller was promoted to head coach of the U19 team and Cooley remained as Miller’s assistant for the 2015 FIBA U19 World Championship. That squad also brought home the gold from Crete, Greece.

Ed Cooley and Sean Miller were named as Donovan’s assistants in January 2015. They both served on Donovan’s staff for the U18 USA National team last summer.

Ed Cooley to be Assistant on Billy Donovan’s Staff of USA U19 Team
After a successful campaign at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship that saw Team USA dominate the competition and finish 5-0 to get the gold medal last summer, USA Basketball announced on Tuesday that University of Florida head coach Billy Donovan and his entire coaching staff would return to coach the U19 team for the 2015 U19 World Championships.
