Report: Raptors 905 to add Tamara Tatham to coaching staff

According to reports from Doug Smith (well and truly back on the beat), the Raptors 905 are set to bring in Tamara Tatham to help fill out their coaching staff. Tatham will join Charles Kissi as a fellow assistant coach under new bench boss (and long-time member of the Raptors organization) Jama Mahlalela.

This is somewhat big and cool. @Raptors905 will add 2-time Olympian Tamara Tatham in a coaching role for coming season She'll be first Cdn women on a pro men's team staff. A solid move by MLSE and head coach Jama Mahlalela
