Jerry Stackhouse, former NBA player, named Raptors assistant coach
Toronto also adds Rex Kalamian, Andy Greer to Dwane Casey's staff
The Toronto Raptors have hired assistants Jerry Stackhouse, Rex Kalamian and Andy Greer to round out Dwane Casey's coaching staff.
It's the first NBA coaching position for Stackhouse, who played 18 years in the NBA and was an all-star with Detroit in 2000 and 2001.
Stackhouse averaged 16.9 points, 3.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 970 career regular season-games (564 starts). He helped Dallas reach the NBA finals in 2006 and played under Casey in the Mavericks' 2008-09 season, when the Toronto head coach was an assistant on Rick Carlisle's staff.
Kalamian joins the Raptors after six seasons with Oklahoma City, including the last two as lead assistant.
He had previous assistant coaching stints with Sacramento (2007-09), Minnesota (2005-07), Denver (2004-05) and the Los Angeles Clippers (1995-2003).
Greer spent the past five seasons as an assistant with the Chicago Bulls.
The new additions will join returning assistants Nick Nurse and Jama Mahlalela on Casey's staff.
"I am pleased to add Rex, Andy and Jerry to our coaching staff," Casey said in a statement. "They are established winners at the NBA level, and bring valuable experience and a passion for the game to our team.
"Together with Nick and Jama, we have a group that will challenge our players daily to improve and compete."
