As the USA Women’s National Team director, Carol Callan is responsible for all USA Basketball women’s team programs, including competitions, trials, training camps, and serves as a liaison to women’s competition committees.
A primary architect for the historic, first-time USA National Team program, Callan was responsible for team logistics, travel, and scheduling of games and training. Since its inception in 1995, the highly successful USA National Team has posted an 94-1 slate in major international competitions winning six-straight Olympic gold medals and four of five FIBA World Cups. Between 2008-2013, USA five-on-five women’s squads compiled a 96-2 record in FIBA and FIBA Americas official competitions, incredibly claiming nothing but gold during that time in each Olympic, FIBA World Championship, FIBA U17 and U19 World Championships, and FIBA Americas U16 and U18 Championships.
Callan, who in June 2019 was elected as president of FIBA Americas, is a member of several USA Basketball selection committees – the National Team Steering Committee (chair), the National Team Player Selection Committee and the Developmental National Team Committee (non–voting chair). She serves on the FIBA and FIBA Americas Women’s Commissions, the WBCA Board of Directors and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Board of Directors.
