1. First, select $$3$$ men out of $$9$$. The number of ways to do this is given by:
   $$
   \binom{9}{3} = \frac{9!}{3!(9-3)!} = \frac{9!}{3!6!} = 84
   $$

2. Next, select $$2$$ women out of $$8$$. The number of ways to do this is:
   $$
   \binom{8}{2} = \frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!} = \frac{8!}{2!6!} = 28
   $$

3. Since these selections are independent, multiply the two results to get the total number of teams:
   $$
   84 \times 28 = 2352
   $$

Thus, the number of ways to select the team is $$2352$$.
There are 2,352 ways to select the team.
