Take a snapshot of Dwane Casey on the sideline, and you’d think he’s lost it. Even as his young team transitions into adulthood, he’s still a drill sergeant out there — barking orders, verbally willing his team to defend, to get out and run.
It’s easy to look at Casey on the sidelines and imagine he’s a man without a plan. Fair or unfair, when the Raptors lose, a segment of observers will blame Casey first.
He’s earned that criticism in the past. He’s drawn up simplistic late-game plays and he’s strict in his playing time for youngsters.
