Toronto Raptors’ bizarre history with coaches gets exposed

After Nick Nurse got sacked, former Celtics coach Ime Udoka is reportedly on the run to replace the 2019 NBA championship winner. However, a recent observation on the Canadian side’s history with coaches might not sit well with Udoka or anyone who wishes to join the Raptors camp.
