It has not been announced yet, but here's the U.S. AIA team roster I obtained from a friend of mine. AIA won the 2006 Jones Cup and finished for the 6th place last year under head coach Mike Jarvis, who now coaches the Florida Atlantic University.
After taking the first look at the roster, I think this is probably the strongest team the AIA has ever sent to Taiwan. And once again, it was led by a controversial coach as Dave Bliss was involved in the so-called scandal in Baylor University back in 2003.
Everyone needs a fresh start though. Here I'm hoping Taiwan can be the starting line for Bliss' career -- although he's not likely to have another chance to coach the Division I team again.
