Sam Mitchell Fired as Raptors Coach

Raptors Basketball

Named NBA's coach of the year a little over one season ago, Sam Mitchell has been fired as head coach of the Toronto Raptors.  He's been replaced on an interim basis by Jay Triano, a Niagara Falls, Ontario native best known for coaching the Canadian men's team from 1998-2004.

I'm sorry to see Smitch go, but this team was in danger of being left for good in that wasteland between the contenders and horrible.  On a positive note, Jay Triano is now the first Canadian-born head coach in NBA history.
