Being an NBA coach might be the worst job in sports.

He really didn't deserve that.He can't beat the team that has one of the greatest players in the history of sports.
Man I’m saying. He prolly has nightmares about Lebron. The whole raptors organization prolly has nightmares about Lebron.
1st one seed ever to be swept in the playoffs
All because him and DeRozen didn’t get along?
That's why this COY stuff should be done after the championships, if at all.

Shitty year for being a 1 seed if you are Toronto and UVA.
So Casey is the scapegoat for Lowry and Derozan for being terrible once again. Makes sense
Seeding in the NBA is all but pointless. Just have the best player. Cleveland had the best player. Insane to fire Casey, they can’t get LeBron and they can’t get anyone better than Casey.
Their GM is an idiot. He should have kept Casey and traded DeRozan to some trash team like Atlanta. Why these guys let players basically quit to get their coaches fired is beyond me. Yeah I know they think good coaches are easier to find than great players. But I'm sick of these divas who turn on coaches.
All because of laying an egg in the playoffs in back to back years after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.

Tony Bennett thinking "Whew, glad I'm not an NBA coach."
Sad. Derozan is a fraud.
Many many coaches can't wait for Lebron to retire.

Can’t say I saw that coming. Picked as the coach of the year by other coaches, won the most games in Raptors history. In six of his seven seasons, their record improved from the previous year. But he loses a playoff series to the best player on the planet and he’s out? Boneheaded move.
Casey won't be out of a job long. Some other NBA team will hire him.
This is the right answer.
Wow, a #1 seed in the East with a struggling Cavs, and Hayward's leg exploding 5 minutes into the season?
Meanwhile there's a team in the West that just broke their franchise record in wins, stole the #1 seed from the most villainous team in decades, and did it with two stars, playing the same position, and a bunch of cast-offs. This team broke the record for 3's made in a season, cherry on top... Oh, and they DIDN'T get knocked out early..
Yeah, you're damn right it's the Rockets. How does D'Antoni not get COY?
I agree he shouldn’t have been fired but Derozan didn’t quit to get him fired he just sucked like he has in most of his playoff games
I want to hear Dick Vitale bloviating on how Canadians are racists. And, by the way, one Orlando Smith is on the market, right?

A broken relationship with DeRozan is likely part of it, but certainly not "all."
No. 1 seeds aren't supposed to get easily swept by 4 seeds, much less in the completely embarrassing manner Toronto did. They looked like they just plain quit by the end of that series (especially in that 35 point clinching loss).
Combine that with the fact that Casey's team perrenially seem to underperform in the playoffs, and I can kinda see why they might've thought it was time for a change.
I understand that, but they need to do it after the season is over and the postseason plays out and any moves get made so nobody gets embarrassed.
Preposterous!!! Guy can coach. He will land on his feet soon in a good gig. He pulled a Joe B benching on DeRozan and the management probably didn't like it. I think he had had enough of Demars disappearing act and put someone else in that wanted to compete. I'm sure King James will call him and apologize.
I was the pastor of a former Washington State coach who got fired after Jason Kapono put up nearly 50 on him. He told me that Jason came up to him and apologized for scoring so many on him. Kapono had known that his job was on the line and felt bad that he was fired shortly after. True story.

Opening in Detroit with Stan Van fired. Other jobs will open up as well. He will be hired soon.
He wouldn’t , I know that but could Casey coach here again considering how things went here in the late eighties under Sutton? I say yes because other program retain coaches with a show cause (UL), retain coaches who had assistants busted by the FBI and supposedly are on tape according to a major media (Arizona) or kept a coach and took zero penalties for cheating (UNC). I can’t see how Casey would be taboo for us while everyone else does whatever they want.
Casey wad in his seventh and they were getting better every year...they'll be sorry.
