Whoever Nick Nurse tabs to join his Raptors coaching staff is not going to be pigeonholed.
It is not his style to give one job to any one coach. He likes to develop a well-rounded staff, which benefits not only his team but the coaches as well.
He has done that since he assumed the Raptors’ head coaching duties from Dwane Casey in 2018 and it is not going to change now that Nurse has a job to fill after the departure of Chris Finch to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Nurse has always changed things up, moving the likes of Sergio Scariolo, Adrian Griffin, Finch and the departed Nate Bjorkgren from offence to defence to what Nurse terms “special teams,” because the more knowledge the better.
