Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey looks on from the bench in the second quarter of their NBA basketball game against the Boston Celtics in Boston

According to multiple sources, Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey has been named the NBA’s Eastern Conference coach of the month for October/November. Leading the Raps to a franchise-best 13-2 start, Casey claims this notable honour for the second time in his career (the first being December 2013, immediately following the groundbreaking trade of  Rudy Gay). He stands with 2007 coach-of-the- year Sam Mitchell as the only two coaches to win the award in Raptors history. Toronto is currently on a two-game slide following last night’s loss to  Kobe Bryant the Los Angeles Lakers. With leading scorer DeMar DeRozan out indefinitely with a torn left adductor longus tendon, Casey has his work cut out for him in the coming weeks. I doubt the team’s celebration of this achievement will last very long- the Raptors are likely concerned more with maintaining their winning ways as the young season progresses.

Regardless, Coach Casey is more than deserving of this award, so here are a couple of videos that should remind you how lucky we are to have him at the helms:

“I would take on anybody in the 100 yard dash”

 

“You play hard and represent the city and the country, good things will happen.”
