For as good a coach as Nick Nurse is, he simply might not be the right guy for where the Raptors could be heading
On Monday, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse’s contract is set to expire after next season, meaningGenerally speaking, it’s bad faith for an organization to have a “lame duck” head coach on the final year of his contract without an extension in place — something Nurse surely won’t want to be.
A big decision on Nurse is on the horizon for the Raptors this summer, with the central question being whether or not the organization feels he's even worth keeping.
Nurse has been a winner at just about every spot he’s been as a head coach. He won championships in the British Basketball League, NBA D-League titles, and has found similar success in the NBA as the Raptors’ head coach — leading Toronto to the 2019 championship. It’s a great mindset to have if you’re looking to keep your job in a business as volatile as coaching can be, but not if the team you’re coaching is on the cusp of rebuilding as the Raptors appear to be.For as good a coach as Nurse is, he simply might not be the right guy for where Toronto could be heading, and the proof is in what we’ve witnessed of him as a head coach over the last four-and-a-half seasons.
