Nick Nurse's departure puts Canada Basketball in an odd spot OrenWeisfeld has the story
However, it was also Nurse — alongside Canadian senior men’s team Executive Vice President and General Manager Rowan Barrett — who wrangled commitments from star players like Gilgeous-Alexander, Murray, and Barrett. Nurse is a big name in the NBA community with a lot of respect after leading Canada’s lone franchise to its first and only NBA championship in 2019. He also had a ton of coaching experience at the NBA and FIBA levels.
Canadian basketball fans will likely be familiar with Fernandez since he was interviewed by the Raptors to fill Nurse’s vacant spot as the team’s head coach this summer, although he was reportedly not a finalist for the job. However, Fernandez has a ton of coaching experience at the NBA and FIBA levels, just not as a head coach.
“He's steeped in FIBA, right? As he grew up, he’s Spanish, he understands this game very, very well — the FIBA game,” Barrett added about what made Fernandez the right fit for Canada Basketball at this time. “He's gonna understand the officiating, he's going to understand the other teams, the systems they've learned, he's going to understand those countries, those nations.
