TORONTO — Despite reports to the contrary, Toronto Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell and club president and general manager Bryan Colangelo are on the same page as they try to put last season behind them and focus on the future.
“I met Sam [on Wednesday] and it was a normal, end-of-season meeting,” Colangelo said yesterday. “We discussed a lot of things – the season, the off-season, the state of the team, our relationship, everything. It was a good meeting and we both walked out of the room on the basis that he was coaching the team moving forward. I thought I put this to rest the other day, but let me say this: We have no intention of making a coaching change, period.”
Mitchell’s future in Toronto was in the news again because of story on Yahoosports.com quoting unnamed sources that the two were engaged in “constant confrontations” this season over tactics, in particular the stalled development of sophomore centre Andrea Bargnani.
