At least one member of Australia’s traveling party believes it would be a mistake to give the early darlings of the men’s basketball tournament zero shot at an upset Wednesday night when the Boomers take on the highly favored United States.

“It’s always possible, mate,” Australia assistant coach and former NBA championship-winning center Luc Longley said Monday after an impressive 95-80 win over Serbia moved the Americans’ next opponent to a surprising 2-0 in Group A. “There are no impossibilities in basketball.”

The Chicago Bulls have hired former Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Billy Donovan as their new head coach, the team announced Tuesday.

Arturas Karnisovas, the Bulls’ executive vice president of basketball operations, aggressively pursued Donovan after the coach left the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources said, selling Donovan on a partnership and vision for a talented young roster and a chance to lead one of the league’s anchor franchises.

In an official statement, Donovan thanked the team’s ownership “for the opportunity to coach the Chicago Bulls” and said he is looking forward to working with Karnisovas.
