The Toronto Raptors haven’t even existed for three decades, yet they’ve already churned through nine different head coaches. While it’s easy to forget the hard times after the success of Dwane Casey and Nick Nurse, the path to regular postseason success was built on the back of decades of trial and error.
Toronto’s history is full of both genuine success, coaches who got a raw deal after being fired too soon, and mistakes that are better left buried in the annals of Raptors history.
