Weller to coach '94 U.S. select team

Maryland women's basketball coach Chris Weller has been named to lead the 1994 U.S. women's select team, by the USA Basketball Staff Selection Committee, a move that could be a springboard toward coaching the national entry in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

Weller, who has won 385 games and eight Atlantic Coast Conference titles at Maryland in 19 years, was coach of the 1992 USA select team that won the gold medal at the Jones Cup competition in Taiwan.

The select team is made up mostly of college players who have little international experience. The team will be chosen at try-outs in late April and will play in a series of exhibitions in Europe in mid-July.
