Former UConn All-American and current University of Hartford coach Jennifer Rizzotti will assist Geno Auriemma at the U.S. women's basketball training camp in Las Vegas the weekend.

DePaul's Doug Bruno, South Carolina's Dawn Staley and current WNBA coach Pokey Chatman (Chicago Sky) will also assist Auriemma.

Rizzotti has coached some of the younger U.S. women's basketball teams, including leading the U-19 squad to a gold medal at the world championship in 2011.

Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve also was selected as a court coach, but won't be able to attend after leading the Lynx to their third straight WNBA finals, which begin Sunday.

There will be 28 players at the camp, including three-time Olympic gold medalists Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Tamika Catchings. Joining the three veterans are 2012 London Games gold medalists Candace Parker, Sylvia Fowles and Tina Charles as well as 2008 Olympian Cappie Pondexter.

Olympic medalists Maya Moore, Lindsay Whalen, Seimone Augustus and Angel McCoughtry are unable to attend as they are playing in the WNBA finals.

Also invited are WNBA rookies Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins. Griner was part of the 2012 pool but turned down a chance to play in the Olympics to focus on school and her ailing mother.

The camp also includes seven college athletes, including four of Auriemma's own UConn players. Stefanie Dolson, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Bria Hartley and Breanna Stewart are joined by Maryland's Alyssa Thomas, Notre Dame's Kayla McBride, and Baylor's Odyssey Sims.
