Masai Ujiri stands by Dwane Casey
In quotes reported by James Herbert of CBS Sports, Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri has confirmed the club will keep Dwane Casey as Head coach for the foreseeable future.
Twitter: Masai Ujiri: “Coach Casey is our coach for the future. I think that’s very easy for us to figure out.” (@outsidethenba)
Casey entered the year as a coach under real pressure, but he put all concerns behind him and led the team to a 56-26 record with a Conference finals appearance against the much fancied Cleveland Cavaliers. Casey coached the team well at both ends of the floor and they appear to have taken the next step.
Masai Ujiri believes Casey did a fantastic job, and he echoes the thoughts of many fans who think he should be the coach for the future as he has done a good job developing players and creating a system where players of different skillsets can thrive.
