    According to multiple NBA sources, the Raptors have narrowed the search for a new coach to two men: Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey and Boston Celtic assistant Lawrence Frank.

    Sources say president and general manager Bryan Colangelo has a strong desire to have a new coach in place as long before the June 23 NBA draft as possible but he cannot even begin interviewing Casey until the Mavericks are finished their NBA final series against the Miami Heat.

    Bring Casey's championship experience! And he might be able to get Bargs to play like a man (fingers crossed)

    Doesn't it concern you a bit that he's the same guy we passed on when we hired Kevin O'Neill?

    That pint of Guinness isn't getting any more settled. Either drink or pass it along.

    If its down to Frank and Casey, I go with Casey. I'm sure if Adleman or Sloan were interested in coaching this team, they would have been hired already. Bringing championship experience and working with other great coaches may give Casey some respect among players. Plus, he was the one responsible for implementing the defense in Dallas. Frank worked with a Celtics team that consists of great defenders and a well established system.
