Toronto Raptors Fire Head Coach Dwane Casey After 7 Years Casey’s exit comes after the Raptors finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference but got swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the NBA playoffs. After careful consideration, I have decided this is a very difficult but necessary step the franchise must take. We celebrate everything Dwane has done for the organization, we thank him, and we wish him nothing but the best in future. Casey leaves the franchise as the winningest coach in its history and helped then set a franchise record for wins this year with 59.
