What is the Raptors Coaches Open House?
Raptors Coaches Open House offers coaches of all levels a unique opportunity to listen and learn from experienced individuals who know what it takes to teach the game at a high level.
At the Toronto Raptors, we recognize the real impact that a coach can have in their players' lives at all levels. The goal of this event is to help motivate you as a coach, and bring you behind the scenes with the Toronto Raptors. Bring a pen, take notes, learn as much as you can and take it back to your team to help them grow and deepen the connection to basketball in your community.
Toronto Raptors Coaches Open House 2025 will be hosted by Paul Jones. A legendary Canadian sportscaster, Jones previously served as the colour analyst on Raptors radio broadcasts, a role he had during the Raptors' inaugural season in 1995. Currently, he serves as the Raptors' radio play-by-play announcer.
