Boeheim Still A Coach For U.S. Olympic Team

Jim Boeheim's spot on the coaching staff of the U.S. basketball team is secure, though the U.S. Olympic Committee is monitoring the child sex abuse investigation of Boeheim's longtime assistant at Syracuse.

Boeheim is the top assistant to Mike Krzyzewski on the team that will play at the 2012 London

Olympics.

Asked about Boeheim's status, USA Basketball spokesman Craig Miller said, "Jim Boeheim is a member of the USA Men's National Team coaching staff.'"

The USOC declined comment, though a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the federation is following the issue. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, have accused Boeheim's longtime assistant Bernie Fine of molesting them as minors.

Fine, who was fired Sunday, has denied the allegations.
