What makes it a Best Place to Work:

■ I came to USA Basketball having worked in college athletics (University of Georgia), another NGB and the sports betting industry, and can say without a doubt that it’s the best place I’ve worked.

■ Good atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and easy to get along with considering the high stress of this industry. We all handle issues and the general workload very well.

■ We have a proud and committed group of staff members and board members that are committed to being a worldwide leader in sport.
