DWANE CASEY HEAD COACH
Under Dwane Casey’s leadership the Raptors have won three Atlantic Division championships and advanced to the postseason
in a franchise-record four consecutive seasons. He has guided the club to a 261-215 (.554) regular-season mark, including the
only two 50-win seasons in team history. He is the longest tenured coach in team history and is the franchise’s all-time win-
ningest coach.
The Raptors posted their second 50-win season in 2016-17, despite missing All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry for 21 games and
integrating two new players into the rotation following the trade deadline. Casey earned his fourth Eastern Conference Coach of
the Month honour in December. The Raptors averaged a conference-best 112.1 points with a +11.1-point differential. Toronto
also finished the month ranked second defensively holding opponents to 101.1 points per game. He is the only coach in fran-
chise history to earn the Coach of the Month award multiple times (January 2016, November 2014 and December 2013).
In 2015-16, Casey directed the Raptors to their fourth Atlantic Division championship and set a team record with 56 victories. It
was the first time in franchise history the Raptors had topped 50 wins in a season. The Raptors finished second in the Eastern
Conference, the highest position in franchise history. Casey showed an ability to adapt and succeed as he was missing two-fifths
of his starting lineup for more than 60 games and started a rookie for 20 games following the All-Star break.
He earned his third Coach of the Month award for January after guiding the Raptors to a 12-2 mark, setting a team record for wins in January and the best win-
ning percentage (.857) in a month with 10 or more games. The Raptors won a franchise-best 11 consecutive games (January 6-30) and swept a seven-game
home stand for the first time in team history.
In 2014-15, Casey led the Raptors to a second consecutive Atlantic Division championship and 49 victories. His club had sole possession of first place in the
Eastern Conference for the first time in team history and remained there from November 4 – January 1. The defensive-minded Casey showcased an up-tempo
offence that set a franchise best with 726 made three-pointers and was the second-highest scoring unit in team history. They also finished in the Top-10 in the
League for fewest turnovers for a third straight season.
In 2013-14, the Raptors recorded 48 wins, an Atlantic Division championship and the third overall seed in the Eastern Conference. Casey’s squad also set a
franchise record with 22 road wins and matched an all-time high with 16 victories against Western Conference opponents. Casey continued his emphasis on the
defensive end of the court as Toronto ranked in the Top 10 in points allowed (98.0, 6th) and opponent field goal percentage (.450, 10th).
The season turned for Casey and the Raptors following a seven-player trade with Sacramento on December 9. From that point forward the club posted the best
mark in the Eastern Conference at 41-22.
In the 2012-13 campaign, Casey and his coaching staff oversaw the marked development of a youthful core of players including DeMar DeRozan, Amir Johnson,
Jonas Valanciunas and Terrence Ross. DeRozan established career highs in points, rebounds, assists and minutes. Johnson posted career bests in points,
rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and minutes. Valanciunas earned NBA Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honours.
In his first season with the Raptors, Casey took a unit that ranked near the bottom of the NBA in every defensive category and transformed the culture and re-
sults. The Raptors finished the 2011-12 campaign as the league’s season leader for greatest improvement in opponent field goal percentage and opponent scor-
ing. Toronto ranked in the Top 10 in fewest points allowed (9th), opponent field goal percentage (8th) and three-point field goal percentage (5th). The team had
finished in the bottom third of the league in all three categories in the 2010-11 season.
Casey agreed to a multi-year contract extension June 7, 2016. He was named the eighth head coach in franchise history June 21, 2011 joining the organization
just nine days after helping lead the Dallas Mavericks to the 2011 NBA Championship. Casey, 58, has served as a head coach, associate head coach and assis-
tant coach in the NBA 20 of the past 21 years. He has coached in two NBA Finals (1996 and 2011) and two NBA All-Star Games (1996 and 1998).
Casey spent three seasons (2008-11) as an assistant with the Mavericks. Dallas posted a 162-84 (.659) mark during that span, winning 50 or more games in
each of Casey’s three seasons with the team. Casey was in charge of a defensive unit that held its opponents to 96.0 points per game (6th in the NBA) and .450
per cent shooting from the field (8th in the NBA) in the 2010-11 regular season. In the 2011 postseason, Casey’s defense posted series victories over offensive
powers the likes of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Dallas held its playoff opponents to 92.5 points per game
and .447 per cent shooting from the floor.
Toronto is Casey’s second stop as an NBA head coach. His first endeavor as a bench boss was with the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2005-07. He had the
club in playoff contention with a 20-20 record when he was replaced January 25, 2007. His 2005-06 squad finished in the NBA’s top 10 in fewest average points
per game and lowest opponent field goal percentage.
Casey began his NBA coaching career in 1994 as an assistant with the Seattle Supersonics. He spent 11 seasons with the Sonics where he served under long-
time NBA head coaches George Karl, Paul Westphal and Nate McMillan. He was promoted to associate head coach in November 2000. Nine of his teams in
Seattle finished above .500 with five winning 50 or more games. The 1996 squad won the Western Conference Championship after finishing the regular season
with a franchise record 64 victories.
In 14 seasons as an NBA assistant, Casey’s teams have registered a 689-427 mark (.617) with eight campaigns of 50 or more wins. His teams have qualified for
the playoffs in 11 of those 14 seasons.
Prior to joining the Sonics, Casey spent five years as a head coach in Japan. He also coached Japan’s National Team with basketball legend Pete Newell. In the
summer of 1998, Casey coached the team to its first World Championship appearance in 31 years.
From 1985-89, Casey was an assistant under legendary collegiate coach Eddie Sutton at the University of Kentucky. The Wildcats posted a 90-40 mark during
that span. He also served as an assistant under Clem Haskins at Western Kentucky University from 1980-85.
Casey began his coaching career at Kentucky in 1979 as a graduate assistant under Joe B. Hall. While at UK, he recruited and coached eventual NBA players
Winston Bennett, Sam Bowie, Rex Chapman, LeRon Ellis, Shawn Kemp, Chris Mills, Dirk Minnifield, Irving Thomas and Melvin Turpin.
Casey played collegiately at Kentucky and helped the Wildcats register a 30-2 record in his junior season and capture the 1978 NCAA Championship. A four-
year letterman, Casey was named team captain his senior year and won Kentucky’s all-academic award.
A native of Morganfield, Kentucky, Casey earned a degree in business administration from Kentucky in 1979. He and his wife, Brenda, have a daughter, Justine,
and son, Zachary.
