The United States women’s basketball team beat Japan handily on Monday, 102-76, to open their Olympic pool play strong. But former college basketball coach Seth Greenberg, a self-proclaimed basketball junkie, didn’t watch.

"I haven’t watched one second of the women’s [basketball team], and I probably would have watched if [Caitlin Clark] was playing." Greenberg said during an appearance on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich" on Wednesday.

"During watching some other Olympic activity this week, they clipped [to] the game against Japan, and some 5-foot-2 player was guarding someone who was a good player. It was uninteresting, to be honest with you. No disrespect, it just wasn’t interesting. It didn’t grab me. Watching women’s gymnastics grabs you. Watching beach volleyball grabs you."

"And if [Clark] played, I probably would have watched just to see what kind of pass she would throw or shoot a logo three."

The 22-year-old WNBA rookie phenom was not chosen to be on the roster, but Dawn Staley, South Carolina women’s basketball head coach and member of Team USA Women’s National Team Committee, suggested during an interview with NBC’s Mike Tirico on Sunday that maybe Clark’s play warranted her selection.
