Coach K would have been the coach, based on his strong run of being the dominant and consistent program in college basketball in the late 80s and early 90s.

This was pretty hard and straight forward at the same time. There was a lot of talent, but likely not all of these stars would have wanted to play for Team USA, to pick from, but pretty easy to figure out the best of the best, plus a few to fill in roles.
Laettner was the easiest choice(he was already on the Dream Team. Hahaha!). There's a good balance of guards, forwards and centers and a lot of overall mid height athletic guys. Though, like the roster I made for a 2012 team, not a lot whole lot of true point guards, but quite a few capable of running the point. But the Dream Team itself only had one true point guard.
I think if Collegians would have still been playing in 1992 they would have had one of the stronger teams in USA history. With the athletes and talent pool, whoever they had, they would have been right there with the 1960 and 1984 teams.
