The Raptors’ pursuit of a replacement for Nurse is moving at a slow pace similar to Milwaukee’s, with Toronto expected to continue with a second round of interviews throughout the rest of the month. The Raptors, sources said, are hoping to be blown away by a candidate during their lengthy, patient approach, no matter how unconventional a hire that might eventually be. Longtime assistant Jim Sann, along with player development specialist Rico Hines, are expected to remain on Toronto’s staff regardless of head coach, sources said.

Guys are we still as high as before with Rico’s player development abilities?
Rico on our staff makes the whole organization more appealing. Maybe the most beloved assistant coach in the NBA amongst players along with Phil Handy.
Rico has done miracles with Scottie and his jumpshot.. two years in a row among the worst shooter in every stat imaginable
I look forward to him helping Scottie maybe break 30% on 3s next year..
I approve of this. They both seem cool to me and they don’t seem to have any of Nurse’s baggage. I figured we’d keep some people to help with the transition.
I like both
Jim is great seems like a great dude
Big cat gone?
Pascal is still trash in the 4th quarter so I can’t imagine this moves the needle much 🤷🏾♂️
I was interested in this and happy to hear. Rico is good friends with Earl Watson. I dont know ehats going to happen to Earl but I hope he stays too. The guy seems to connect with players and that’s what we need in our coaching staff right now IMO
The sann man
