Team USA head coach Cheryl Reeve downplayed the extent of her influence in picking the squad for the 2024 Summer Olympics as the omission of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark remains a sticking point for some.
She explained there’s a misconception about the selection process in general.
“I think what people don’t get about it — and it’s OK, you can’t change what people think — the coach of the national team truly has no power in the selection of the team,” Reeve said on Good Game with Sarah Spain, which is produced by iHeartPodcasts, as part of the company’s new Women’s Sports Audio Network.
