Ettore Messina and Nick Nurse are the two final candidates for Raptors head coaching job
The Raptors will hire Messina or Nurse as head coach?
Ettore Messina and Nick Nurse are the two candidates for the Raptors head coaching job.
The Raptors are searching for a new head coach after the firing of Dwane Casey after the loss in the playoffs against the Cavaliers.
Per TSN, The belief, according to sources, is that the team has narrowed it down to two leading candidates – Toronto assistant Nick Nurse and San Antonio Spurs assistant Ettore Messina – with a decision expected to come this week or next.
Nurse, one of the first to be interviewed by Raptors president Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster, was seen as an early frontrunner and has been an internal favourite for the job throughout. Messina made a strong impression on the Raptors brass when he met with them late last month and was in Toronto for a second interview on Thursday, league sources confirm to TSN.
