Canada rolls over Panama
Nick Nurse and John Herdman have created a new category among Canadian national teams — the superstar coach whose profile almost matches or exceeds that of his big-league pro players.
Nurse hopes to do the same for men’s basketball at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, from which the first seven qualifiers will emerge for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, as Canada looks to end the drought of not having qualified for the Olympics since being captained by Steve Nash of Victoria at Sydney 2000. The Canadians could have qualified for the 2023 World Cup on Monday with a win over Panama and if Venezuela beat the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas beat Argentina, but that didn’t happen regarding the latter game. World Cup qualification seems inevitable for Canada but will have to wait to become official in the final two qualifying windows Nov. 7-15 and Feb. 20-28. Canada will be without any NBA players for those because they fall in the heart of the NBA season.
“There’s a lot of buzz. Fan participation is on the rise. Fans are coming out to games and getting into it,” said Nurse.
