George Washington coach Karl Hobbs was selected Wednesday as an assistant coach for the U.S. men's under-19 basketball team that will compete at this summer's world championship.

Hobbs will join a staff headed by DePaul coach Jerry Wainwright and assisted by Bruiser Flint of Drexel. Hobbs was selected by the USA Basketball collegiate committee chaired by Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim.
