Last weekend it was Nia Coffey who was competing
for and earning a roster spot on the 2013 USA Basketball Women’s U19
World Championship Team. This weekend, just a few days later, it is her
younger brother, Amir Coffey, who is battling for a USA jersey at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo.
One of 30 members of the 2013-14 USA Basketball Men’s Developmental National Team (DNT), Amir is competing to earn one of 12 roster spots on the squad that will represent the USA at the 2013 FIBA Americas 16 Championship in Maldonado, Uruguay.
“It would mean the world,” Amir said of his quest to make the USA U16 team. “It tells you how hard you are working and that your hard work is paying off. It would mean so much. It’s only 12 players that get selected, and they started from like 30 players, so it would mean a lot.”
Of course, after participating in trials and making the USA Basketball U19 Team, Nia had some advice for her brother.
