Toronto Head Coach Darko Rajakovic Announced His Leaving For…
Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic figures it’s been about that long since he had a proper vacation or even a meaningful break from the NBA’s velvet-lined grindstone.
At one stage, he tried to take his family on vacation only to learn moments after arriving at his destination that the Raptors wanted him back for another meeting. When he was finally hired, on June 13, he had three weeks to assemble his coaching staff in advance of Summer League. He spent so much time on the phone, he had nearly lost his voice before he showed up in Las Vegas. After Summer League, he tried to sneak in a family trip home to Serbia, but that didn’t work out either.
