Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo has been impressed by the job interim coach Jay Triano has done and he remains on the team's radar for the full-time gig.

"The message is the right message; the method of communicating is the right method," Colangelo said Monday. "I've been high on him the entire time."

The Raptors are 20-36 under Triano, but the organization is still encouraged.

"Jay's done a solid job; he was given a bad set of circumstances," Colangelo said.
