On Thursday afternoon, the first assistant coach for the new-look Raptors 905 staff was announced. Charles Kissi, who has been the head coach for Brock University’s men’s basketball program the past five seasons, will be an assistant with the 905 for the upcoming season. The university made the announcement in a press release; however Raptors 905 could be waiting to announce all the assistants at one time.
Jama Mahlaela, who was named the 905 head coach in June, replaced Jerry Stackhouse following his departure to the Memphis Grizzlies. Mahlaela was an assistant coach for the Raptors since 2013.
