Mike Krzyzewski has decided to remain coach of the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team.

Krzyzewski will try to lead the Americans to a third consecutive gold medal, a person with knowledge of the decision said Wednesday. Originally expected to step down, Krzyzew ski will hold a news conference to confirm his return Thursday at Duke, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.

The Hall of Fame coach has led the Americans since 2005, winning gold at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and the 2010 world basketball championship.

Krzyzewski repeatedly said he planned to end his international coaching career after the Americans' victory last summer in London. But USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo preferred to hold off any discussion until after Coach K finished his season with the Blue Devils, and he got the answer he wanted.?
