The agreement comes one month after Casey was fired by the Raptors, who went 59-23 this past season on the way to the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference.  The team lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs.

Casey, 61, has a 373-307 career record in parts of nine seasons with Toronto and Minnesota. He coached the Raptors to five consecutive postseason appearances and a trip to the Eastern Conference finals in 2016.
