it's official - casey has been hired as the raps new head coach -1PM press conference

LX · 06-21-2011, 02:08 PM

Demar looks a little scared at the prospect of having to play defense. I like that.

Sick, Wicked and Nasty! · 06-21-2011, 02:08 PM

Good news. I was initially pulling for Frank, but really you can't be too disapointed with this choice. The guy has experience and basketball acumen. A good (re)start for this franchise.

LX · 06-21-2011, 02:11 PM

he's made me really happy in less than ten minutes. I guess he might find me on his staff.

Revolve · 06-21-2011, 02:14 PM

I'm happy with Casey, he said a lot of good things in the conference and he made me feel optimistic about the future.

Toebee · 06-21-2011, 04:28 PM

Best thing about the interview I liked was that he mentioned that getting fired from the Minny job was good for him. Evaluating yourself when you're removed from the situation make you able to see what worked and what didn't. I was a Frank person but I am excited that for the first time in & years we are really going to change the culture of the Craptors.

Eew...

jeffb · 06-21-2011, 04:53 PM

Something about this guy reminds me of butch carter

js12 · 06-21-2011, 04:57 PM

I hope he can walk the talk.

This guy is all business, and I liked his comments from the conference.

It's cool to see derozan the one taking pictures with BC and Casey. Dd is the new face of the franchise. I would've barfed if they had Bargs there for the pics.

Ciao Raptors! · 06-21-2011, 07:27 PM

Very happy for her purchase...now let's improve this team!... coach!Come on!

0nekhmer · 06-21-2011, 08:00 PM

i like him

Torontosaurus · 06-21-2011, 09:08 PM

Hopefully what he's saying will rub off on the players. Good choice BC!

jeffb · 06-21-2011, 09:23 PM

According to Feschuck Casey's contract is 2yrs/6Mil + TO for third year. Exact same as BC.

Ataf · 06-21-2011, 09:44 PM

I can't wait for next season

Windex · 06-21-2011, 09:51 PM

BC seems like an intimidating person. Good thing I dont have to make any deals with that guy

cloudnine · 06-21-2011, 11:30 PM

I do hope they keep Triano on as an assistant. He knows what he's doing; he just isn't the right personality to be a head coach, I don't think.

Oh enough with him. Besides, when asked about that today, Casey basically said he'd be around as a consultant. In other words he won't be an assitant thank god.
