Raptors.com reports that Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens and the team have mutual agreed to go their seperate ways.

Wilkens had one year left on his contract which will be honored by the team.

"This season was a disappointment of the highest order for all of us associated with the Toronto Raptors. In discussions with Lenny about the future direction of the team, it became apparent to both of us that parting company would best serve his interests as well as those of the organization,? said Glen Grunwald, Raptors senior vice president and general manager. ?I want to thank Lenny for his many contributions. He was the right man at the right time three years ago when he brought stability, dignity and leadership to our coaching position. Since then, Lenny has always represented the Raptors and the city of Toronto in a first-class manner in good times and in difficult times. You won?t find a man of greater character than Lenny Wilkens.?

Wilkens, the NBA's all-time leader in wins, compiled a 113-133 record in three seasons as the Raptors head coach.

?I?m proud to have been the head coach here during a time when the organization jumped from being an expansion franchise to being a legitimate contender,? Wilkens said. ?If it wasn?t for the injuries this season we would have continued to have success.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Toronto and very much appreciate the support I?ve received from our fans, who are the most outstanding in the NBA. Their support of us through this season with all the injuries was remarkable.?
