Video: Jimmer Fredette Named USA Basketball 3X3 Managing Director

BYU basketball legend Jimmer Fredette announced his retirement from professional basketball less than a week ago. Now, he will take his love for the game to the front office.

USA Basketball 3×3 announced on Monday that Fredette will step into a managing director role with the team.

Fredette explained that a torn adductor made him unsure of his next steps. But when the possibility of a front office role was presented to him, he ultimately decided to jump on the opportunity.

“It’s a lot of responsibility, but also a huge honor that they would think of me,” Fredette said. “As soon as I heard that, I started to really think about it. I felt like this was the right opportunity for me to pounce on.”
