The Toronto Raptors’ head coaching search, which includes names like Sergio Scariolo and Steve Nash in positions of prominence, has been moving along a pace that would make the term “glacial” look too speedy. After more than a month, there is still minimal clarity.
One candidate that is clearly starting to rise above many of the others is Scariolo, a former Raptors assistant under Nick Nurse that spent last season in Italy as the coach of Virtus Bologna. Raptors brass has flown out to Italy to discuss the position with Scariolo, perhaps the favorite for the job.
