Long Island Nets head coach Ronald Nored was named an assistant for the USA’s World Cup Qualifying Games this summer.

Nored — who coaches the Nets’ G-League affiliate — and former Georgetown head coach John Thompson III will assist former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy on the USA Basketball Team that will play in the FIBA World Cup Qualifying games.

“I don’t think I can overstate how honored I am to be able to have this appointment under coach Van Gundy and to represent the United States,” Nored said. “I think for me this is a dream come true. Not only to represent my country, but also to work under such an esteemed coach. I know I’ll be challenged and I’ll learn a lot, and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Nored coached Long Island to a 27-23 mark this past season, his second at the helm. It was a 10-win improvement from his debut campaign. Nored had spent two seasons (2013-15) with the Celtics under Brad Stevens, where he had been the player development director.

“I’m pleased that coach Thompson is able to return for the next two World Cup Qualifying windows, and I’m excited about the addition of Ronald Nored to our staff,” said Van Gundy, 9-0 since taking over in August 2017. “We’re going to miss Mo McHone’s experienced voice, but it’s exciting to add a new voice and perspective from a young and promising coach in Ronald.”

The 28-year-old Nored fits the Nets’ M.O. of player development, and has largely been credited with the progress shown this season by Isaiah Whitehead and two-way player Milton Doyle.
