The Toronto Raptors head coaching search hit a snag this week as top candidate Ime Udoka was snatched up by the Houston Rockets. Masai Ujiri will not be looking elsewhere to fill the vacancy left by the firing of Nick Nurse. The Raptors will have an abundance of time to conduct their research on a new coach as the NBA playoffs are now just taking shape for the first round.
Though many fans are upset Udoka is no longer a possibility, there are still many other excellent coaches around the landscape of basketball (who don’t have extra personal baggage) to choose from. This video showcases six of the best available candidates for the Raptors’ front office to choose from across three categories:
– Promoting from within
– Returning to Toronto
– Poaching from other teams
Who do you want to be the next Raptors head coach and who dod you think Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster are going to choose?

We need mark jackson
We gotta see what happens with Mike Malone with Denver i think he is a good choice too if made available
We need brad stevens
Who do you want to reaplce Nick Nurse?
Adrian Griffin
Udoka unless Masai wanted to risk his own career never had a chance. The Raptors are owned by MLSE and also have many female employees along with Human resource rules and guidlines that all employees must follow. I think they will hire from within or possible Jerry Stackhouse who was the former 905 coach.
Durant and Kyrie over shitty coach atkins
Phil Jackson lol
You forgot jama from goldenstate great player development
Honestly I don’t think Ime was the number 1 option because raptors would have picked him up way faster Masai never picks people that the media wants he likes to pick underdogs
Becky Hammon and Jerry Stackhouse better than most candidates.
I'm really really hoping they are looking into trying to bring Sergio Scariolo back as the new head coach.
I really like Atkinson or Stackhouse.
