Ever since he arrived in downtown Toronto fresh from Texas in the summer of 2011, Raptors coach Dwane Casey has styled himself as a bit of a country bumpkin. He grew up in Kentucky, after all, and still likes to pepper his speech with various drawl-required turns of phrases he learned there. He laments nights when his team’s shooters can’t “hit the side of the barn with a bass fiddle.” He occasionally describes a fiery opponent as “madder than a wet hen.” But it’s a shtick, mostly. Casey is a committed city slicker. He lives in Seattle in the off-season, and tony Summerhill when he’s in Toronto.
