Dwane Casey is NBA Coach of the Year. He’s also out of work.

After guiding the ​Toronto Raptors to an ​NBA best 59-23 record, the 61-year-old was abruptly fired after his team was swept in the​ playoffs by Cleveland, led by ​LeBron James.

​Clearly, the​ Toronto brass was upset with a​ second-straight playoff elimination to the Cavs.​

​​The ​Raptors were 320-238 in seven regular seasons under Coach Casey, with five straight playoff berths, but 21-30 in the postseason.      

A Kentucky native, Coach Casey was captain of the University of Kentucky’s 1978 NCAA championship team.

Prior to coaching at Toronto, Coach Casey was an ​assistant at NBA teams in Minnesota, Seattle and Dallas.

There are now NBA coaching vacancies in Atlanta, Detroit and Orlando, along with Toronto.
