Fresh off winning the NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors, and then appearing on stage, guitar in hand, with the Arkells, good things just keep on coming up for Nick Nurse. What was reported late in May is now official, Nurse has been officially named as head coach of the Canadian men’s national basketball team.
The squad, now overseen by general manager Rowan Barrett and president/CEO Glen Grunwald, has been trying to make it back to the Olympics for almost two decades. The mission now with Nurse in tow is to get there for 2020 in Tokyo.
