The Raptors 905 just shot to the top of the “Do Not Mess With Us” list after reports, via Chris Reichert of Upside Motor, named Jerry Stackhouse the new head coach of the team.
Stackhouse will come to the position after spending a year as an assistant with the big league squad working under head coach Dwane Casey. He also comes with the pedigree of an 18-year veteran and former NBA All-Star, having played with everyone from Allen Iverson to Grant Hill to Dirk Nowitzki. Stackhouse is also also long known in NBA circles as a dude you just do not want to mess with (which puts him in the august company of former players like Charles Oakley and the departed Anthony Mason).
