The Toronto Raptors appear to have called a halt to their interview process. The search for a new person to replace the out-of-chances Dwane Casey as head coach has stalled.
The latest candidates were a pair of San Antonio Spurs assistants, Ettore Messina and Ime Udoka. I’m sure they are both lovely gentlemen and connoisseurs of fine wine. Regardless, I wish Masai Ujiri had invited another Spurs assistant, Becky Hammon, to have a chat.
A remarkable attribute of Gregg Popovich, the Spurs head man, is his ability to attract and retain a variety of coaching talent.
