On Tuesday afternoon, in Maple Leaf Square, in front of media, fans and even a few players, the Toronto Raptors officially introduced and welcomed Darko Rajakovic (rye-ahk-oe-vich) as the franchise’s next head coach. Rajakovic is the 10th head coach in Toronto Raptors history.
The event was a celebratory affair, with balloons, music, and was held outdoors — risky in Toronto, but it turned out okay. The man of the hour, Coach Rajakovic, sat up on stage with Raptors President Masai Ujiri and answered questions from the media, gave remarks, and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding Rajakovic’s hire.
