Raptors Set to Announce New Head Coach Dwane Casey

By Hamutal Dotan

SPORTS 680 News is reporting that the Toronto Raptors will introduce Dwane Casey as the team’s new head coach at a press conference scheduled for 1 p.m. today. Casey was head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves (2005–2007) and is now an assistant coach with the Dallas Mavericks. Surprising some, the Raptors haven’t gone with a big-name choice for their new coach, who will replace the outgoing Jay Triano. Triano’s contract was not renewed by the Raptors after a disappointing win-loss record during his two-and-a-half year tenure as coach.
