The long-promised future of the Canadian men’s senior national team has never been closer than now.The 46-year-old Barrett was formally introduced Wednesday as the general manager of the Canadian men’s senior national team. Although he’s been functioning in the role for several years, he is now in position to put the final signature on a program he’s been helping build for decades.
There was never any surprise that Barrett would get the job. Even when former Olympic teammate and good friend Steve Nash held the general manager title, Barrett was the one doing most — if not all — of the heavy lifting as Nash’s public role has diminished considerably over the past four years. Nash will continue with the program as a senior advisor.As a player, he was among the leading scorers when Canada nearly shocked the world at the 2000 Olympic Games, and as the father of R.J.
In an interview Wednesday, Barrett said that he’ll be evaluating everything on the basketball operations side, including the head coaching position.
