BoxingScene.com has been
advised that USA Boxing has nominated Basheer Abdullah as the new head coach of the
U.S. Olympic Team.
Abdullah, current head coach
of the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program, would replace Joe Zanders, who
held the position from August of 2011 until earlier this month, when he vacated
the post. Zanders will continue to work
with USA Boxing in a different capacity heading into this summer’s London Games.
According to an interview
with The Independent, former British national team coach Terry Edwards, who has
been putting the Olympic tournament arrangements together as technical
operations manager, had been in formal negotiations with USA Boxing regarding
the spot but ultimately declined.
