# USA Basketball

USA Basketball (USAB) is a non-profit organization and the governing body for basketball in the United States. The organization represents the United States in FIBA and the men's and women's national basketball teams in the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee. Its chairman of the board is retired General Martin Dempsey
The organization was founded in 1974 as the Amateur Basketball Association of the United States of America (ABAUSA). It was then renamed USA Basketball on October 12, 1989, after FIBA modified its rules to allow NBA basketball players to compete in international competitions (professionals from Europe and South America were always allowed to compete). USA Basketball is responsible for the selection and training of the men's and women's national teams that represent the United States in international tournaments, including the FIBA Basketball World Cup for men, the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, Games of the Olympiad and the men's and women's qualifiers thereof, as well as for the promotion of the sport amongst prospective players, spectators, and fans.
