Is Dwane Casey the best head coach for the Toronto Raptors?

Dwane Casey was born in Morganfield Kentucky, and graduated from Union County High School in 1975. During his university years at the University of Kentucky he was a vital member of his school’s basketball team as he served as the team captain in his senior year and held a career average of 12.3 points and 6.1 assists per game. Casey was never able to make the NBA as a player but instead became an assistant coach for the same school he was a part of right after he graduated. After his time came to an end with Kentucky Dwane Casey was hired on as an assistant coach for the once Seattle SuperSonics.  Casey was able to serve as the Japanese National Basketball Teams head coach over the summers and in 1998 was able to take the team to the FIBA World Championship basketball tournament which was that teams first appearance back there in more than 30 years.

Casey first official position as a head coach in the NBA was with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2005-2006 season. His career was soon ended the next year though as he was fired in halfway through the next season in 2007. The following year Casey was lucky to receive a spot as an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2008-2009 season. The Mavs went on the next year to win their division title and then the following year they were victorious and won their first ever NBA championship in 2011. After this, Casey was signed to the Toronto Raptors in June 2011. This was a gain for the raptors as we were in need of a new head coach.
There are some who like Casey as the Raptors coach and then there are those who believe that the raptors would be better off with someone else. I believe that Casey and Toronto is indeed a good pair and they go hand in hand. Although the Raptors did not make the playoffs last season with Casey as head coach and it seems as though it is safe to say that they will not make it this year either, the one positive is that Casey along with the rest of the coaching and management staff of Toronto are trying to recreate the Raptors as a team that won’t be overlooked and will one day make it to the playoffs and possibly win a title.
So is Dwane Casey the best head coach for the Toronto Raptors? all I can say is that I believe Casey will continue to be beneficial for Toronto and we should let him do what he’s doing as our team continues to grow.
