As Canada Basketball moves towards an intriguing future, it has turned to its past.
As expected, Jay Triano was named head coach of the senior men’s program on Thursday, his second go-around at the position after previous management bungled his dismissal in 2005.
His replacement, Leo Rautins, resigned last summer and it was quickly clear that Triano was the organization’s top choice to take over, especially if Steve Nash agreed to come on board as well.
In fact, Nash said on Thursday that the hiring of Triano was a requirement of his doing so.
“I know that Jay is the right man for this job” Nash said.
