ISU connection. Quite a jump for him from the McDermott days to now.

Love it. It was between him and Stackhouse for me.

Do you think he was coaching the team last year or Casey?

Amazing job for him just grinding it on his way up.

Casey. Nurse was the guy that spearheaded the new offensive system over the course of last year's offseason. Casey rolled with it throughout the regular season and led to the franchise high in regular season wins. Of course they fell back into old habits in the post season with running too much DeMar iso. Casey is a world class defensive coach. He was a big part of the Mavs 2011 championship run. However, he is clueless offensively and his decision to usurp Nurse's new offense and fall back into iso over the playoffs is why a lot of us diehards wanted him out.

Shocking there aren't more guys from Fran's coaching tree in the NBA.

I can now say I played (5th grade camp) basketball for 2 NBA coaches.

I would care a lot more if it was Mike Nurse.

I was hoping that would be an opinion thread from our local expert posters.

He was on McDermotts staff for like a week at ISU before he left for Creighton, correct? Good enough, he's a Clone!

What the heck were you wearing back then, Chewie?

Johnny Cash with an ugly gray sport coat? Wolf.

Another fun one from the same era...

Got a great paycheck.

Nurse was GREAT with the Energy.

Should've gotten that opportunity years ago

It's a good thing for us this game wasn't televised and therefore, had no instant replay.

He’s very much loved in Toronto and has been the star of that staff since he got there. Glad he didn’t go to the Magic.
