sources said.

In his five seasons as Raptors coach, the franchise has improved its victory
total every season, including three straight playoff appearances. The

including assistant coaches Andy Greer (Minnesota and New York) and Rex
Kalamian (Washington) who are the objects of interest elsewhere, league
sources said
