Raptors coach Nick Nurse confirmed Sunday he plans to coach the Canadian national basketball team.
In his first availability since Toronto won the NBA Finals against the Warriors on Thursday, Nurse said a deal for him to coach at the FIBA Basketball World Cup was "just about done."
Before answering on the specifics, Nurse said, "I'm getting ready to take another situation soon because I think it's going to make me a better coach."
The 51-year-old Nurse worked as an assistant coach for Great Britain in 2012. He said he learned a lot during that experience.
