The Toronto Raptors announced Wednesday they have hired Rex Kalamian, Andy Greer and Jerry Stackhouse as assistant coaches on head coach Dwane Casey’s staff. They join Nick Nurse and Jama Mahlalela.
Kalamian joins the Raptors after six seasons with Oklahoma City, including the last two as lead assistant. In addition to Oklahoma City, Kalamian had previous assistant coaching stints with Sacramento (2007-09), Minnesota (2005-07, where he was on Casey’s staff), Denver (2004-05) and the Los Angeles Clippers (1995-2003).
Greer had spent the past five seasons as an assistant with the Chicago Bulls. Greer’s NBA coaching resume also includes assistant positions with the Memphis Grizzlies (2007-09), Houston Rockets (2003-07) and New York Knicks (2001-03).
Stackhouse played 18 seasons in the NBA, averaging 16.9 points, 3.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 31.2 minutes in 970 regular season games (564 starts). During the 2008-09 season, Stackhouse played under Casey while the latter was an assistant on Rick Carlisle’s staff.
A two-time All-Star with Detroit (2000, 2001), Stackhouse posted career highs of 29.8 points (second in the NBA) and 5.1 assists in 80 games during the 2000-01 campaign.
