During his introductory press conference as the head coach of the Raptors, Dwane Casey talked about his role as the architect of the Mavericks' defense.
Casey said he used hockey video to help set the defensive team’s defensive mindset during the NBA finals.
“Because we felt we were playing too soft against Miami to start the series,” he said. “And it really set the tone.
“I don’t know a lot about of hockey. I know I’ll learn about it. But we spliced in (footage of) those guys checking players up into the window (glass), into the boards and that type of thing and that’s the way we want to play."
