    Apparently Triano is the coach. Let's see for an article to appear.

    It's a mistake to fire him IMO, its not his fault the team sucks. (well they don't suck but the players are not that good as many fans would like to think)

    I don't really know Mitchell's effect on this team or if he's to blame for the weak start, but a lot of the Raptors fans wanted to see him go, so congrats :)

    Here is Sam Mitchell's Defense

    He's a BAD X's and O's coach and eventually his way to motivate was going to get old. It's not a mistake to fire him, it's a mistake he lasted this long

    I said he'd be gone before Christmas but I kind of hoped it wasn't going to happen.

    My only hope is that BC has another guy waiting to take over ASAP. Triano is a decent coach but he was part of the zeitgeist so he can't really be the change we need.

    Bout time. Watching the game yesterday I was saying to myself "damn, this guy needs to be fired".

    I personally won't mind seeing Van Gundy given a shot at running this team, although his ideologies are directly contradictory to Colangelo's. We'll probably see a Flip Saunders or similar hiring, a safe pick that will guarantee us at least a playoff spot.

    Kevin O'Neill was a JVG protege, so I don't think we'll be seeing that again.

    Finally, my god. Dude was a good guy and a good motivator, but a horrible coach. We need to bring in a defensive coach. Any one have a list of the coaches without work?

    Friggin' awesome! This is like the greatest news in the world to come home to. Finally, this 4 year long debacle is over. I felt like Smitch's job security as well as his Coach of the Year Award was some sort sick, cruel joke put on by the rest of the NBA to torture Toronto fans.

    In a perfect world, Oklahoma City would hire him.
