He will remain CSU\u2019s men\u2019s basketball coach, and the summer position isn\u2019t expected to interfere with his duties in Fort Collins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt hasn\u2019t been announced yet, but I\u2019m going to be the coach of the Bahamas National Team. That isn\u2019t just to go lay out on the beach; that\u2019s to profit Colorado State,\u201d Eustachy said. \u201cI\u2019m not doing (things like this) because I\u2019m going to leave in a year. I could see us having a sister school in the Bahamas. I am going to be seeing all of these great young players from all over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CSU has two international players on its roster with Gerson Santo (Brazil) and Joe De Ciman (Canada). The possibility of adding more from the Bahamas excites Eustachy, who said not having a language barrier will help.<\/p>\n<p>The first-year CSU coach also mentioned the grandfather of Rams\u2019 point guard Jon Octeus is from the Bahamas, so there\u2019s a chance he could play with Eustachy this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The Bahamas will compete in the FIBA Americas Championship, Eustachy said, which takes place Aug. 30-Sept. 11 in Caracas, Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>CSU played an exhibition game in Nassau, Bahamas against the Caribbean nation\u2019s all-star team on Aug. 6 and won, 95-80.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">By Matt L.
