==Early years==
Dwane Lyndon Casey was born on April 17, 1957, in [[Indianapolis]].<ref name="basketball-reference">{{cite web|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/caseydw99c.html|title=Dwane Casey|work=basketball-reference|access-date=January 24, 2020}}</ref> However, his family moved to [[Morganfield, Kentucky]] when he was three years old.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tipton |first=Jerry |date=2014-01-11 |title=UK basketball notebook: Dwane Casey leads Raptors' Bluegrass quartet |url=https://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article44466360.html |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=Lexington Herald Leader}}</ref> Casey graduated from [[Union County High School (Kentucky)|Union County High School]] in 1975.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://varsitypride.org/areas/hall-of-fame-2/union-county-high-school/|title=Union County High School|date=March 24, 2014|access-date=May 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615084714/http://varsitypride.org/areas/hall-of-fame-2/union-county-high-school/|archive-date=June 15, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Casey was a top recruit coming out of high school. He made the decision to commit to the [[University of Kentucky]]. During the [[1977–78 Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team|1977–78 Wildcats season]], Casey helped guide the team to an [[List of NCAA Men's Division I Basketball champions|NCAA Tournament Championship]]. He served as team captain during his senior year. During the summers, Casey worked several odd jobs to support himself, including [[coal mining]] and [[tobacco farming]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/basketball/the-man-how-dwane-casey-helped-reinvent-the-raptors/article18068758/?page=all|title=The Man: How Dwane Casey helped reinvent the Raptors|first=RACHEL|last=BRADY|date=April 18, 2014|newspaper=The Globe and Mail}}</ref>

He graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in [[business administration]] in 1979, also receiving Kentucky's All-Academic Award that same year.<ref name="NBA.com Dwane Casey">[http://www.nba.com/coachfile/dwane_casey/index.html NBA.com Dwane Casey] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130206151909/http://www.nba.com/coachfile/dwane_casey/index.html |date=February 6, 2013 }}, NBA.com</ref>

==Coaching career==
===Early career===
Casey's coaching experience went back to his first coaching job at the age of 13 when Morganfield Baseball Commissioner Earl McKendree allowed the young Casey to coach a Little League team with kids just three years younger than him. He began his college coaching career in 1979 due to a suggestion made by his coach [[Joe B. Hall]]. Casey spent a season with Hall as an assistant coach at Kentucky. The next season, Casey made the move to [[Western Kentucky]], where he spent the next five seasons. Casey later returned to Kentucky in 1985 where he would take the role of an assistant coach and top recruiter.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/26/sports/basketball/for-former-college-assistant-dwane-casey-scandal-altered-his-career.html?_r=0 |title=Looking Back, With Little Hope of Going Back |website=The New York Times |date=26 March 2012 }}</ref>

In late March 1988 while still serving as an assistant coach at Kentucky, [[Emery Worldwide]] employees discovered $1,000 in cash in an envelope that was accidentally opened. The envelope was addressed to Claud Mills, the father of recruit [[Chris Mills (basketball)|Chris Mills]], and the sender was identified as Casey. The University of Kentucky said that the evidence collected during the investigation was inconclusive, and did not prove that Casey sent the money.<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20121001191122/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/keyword/chris-mills/featured/4 Articles about Chris Mills]" ''Orlando Sentinel''</ref>

===Overseas===
After his resignation from Kentucky, Casey accepted a head coaching job in the [[Japanese Basketball League]]. During his time there, Casey coached for Sekisui Chemical and [[Yokohama Giga Spirits|Isuzu Motors Lynx]] that his teammate [[Jack Givens]] played for. While in Japan, Casey did coaching work for the [[Japan national basketball team|national team]] alongside longtime friend [[Mototaka Kohama]] and veteran coach [[Pete Newell]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/sonics/news/Casey-84928-51.html/|title=Casey's Skills Honed in the Land of the Rising Sun|publisher=NBA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031002133551/http://www.nba.com/sonics/news/Casey-84928-51.html/|archive-date=October 2, 2003}}</ref>

During the summers, Casey continued to work with the [[Japan national basketball team|Japanese national team]]. In the summer of 1998 the team appeared in the [[1998 FIBA World Championship|FIBA World Championship]] basketball tournament, which would be the team's first appearance there in over 30 years.<ref name="NBA.com Dwane Casey"/>

===Return to the NBA===
Casey left the Japanese Basketball League in 1994 after receiving an assistant coaching position for the [[Seattle SuperSonics]]. During his tenure in Seattle, the team won four division titles.

At the beginning of the [[2005–06 NBA season]], Casey landed his first job as head coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves, replacing [[Kevin McHale (basketball)|Kevin McHale]]. Casey's overall record with the team was 53–69, and he was fired on January 23, 2007, after only a season and a half with the Timberwolves.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/timberwolves/news/wolves_relieve_head_coach_dwane_casey_of_coaching_duties_070123.html |title=TIMBERWOLVES: Wolves Relieve Head Coach Dwane Casey of Coaching Duties |work=Nba.com |date=January 23, 2007 |access-date=November 12, 2013}}</ref> At the time of his firing, the Timberwolves were 20–20, he was replaced by assistant coach [[Randy Wittman]], who went 12–30 for the rest of the season.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espn.com/espn/wire/_/section/nba/id/3676344 |title=Mavs assistant Dwane Casey returns to Minnesota |publisher=ESPN|agency=Associated Press |date=November 1, 2008 |access-date=January 29, 2017}}</ref>

During the [[2008–09 NBA season]], Casey served as an assistant coach for the [[Dallas Mavericks]]. During the [[2009–10 NBA season]], the Mavericks won a division title. In 2011, the Mavericks defeated the [[Miami Heat]] in the [[2011 NBA Finals]] and won their first [[List of NBA champions|championship]]. [[LeBron James]] of the Heat would later admit that Casey's defensive schemes for Dallas helped make him improve his game even further after that series.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/lebron-james-credits-dwane-casey-125730697.html |title=LeBron James credits Dwane Casey for making him player he is today |website=sports.yahoo.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505105855/https://sports.yahoo.com/lebron-james-credits-dwane-casey-125730697.html |archive-date=2018-05-05}}</ref>

===Toronto Raptors===
In early June 2011, the [[Toronto Raptors]] decided not to pick up the option on [[Jay Triano]]'s contract. Casey was named the new Raptors head coach on June 21 and would run through until the 2013–14 season.<ref name="Turner Sports Interactive, Inc">{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/raptors/news/20110621/18351/raptors-name-dwane-casey-head-coach|title=Raptors Name Dwane Casey Head Coach|date=June 21, 2011|work=NBA.com|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|access-date=June 21, 2011}}</ref>

Casey's first two seasons with the Raptors involved little to no success. The team exceeded expectations in the first season and underachieved in the second. The team failed to make the playoffs both seasons. During his third season with the team, it managed to set a new team record for [[Toronto Raptors accomplishments and records#Franchise record for wins|most wins in a season]], an [[Atlantic Division (NBA)#Division Champions|Atlantic Division Championship]], and its first playoff appearance in six years.

On May 6, 2014, a day after being eliminated from the [[2014 NBA Playoffs|playoffs]], Casey and the Raptors agreed to a three-year contract extension.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.raptors.com/press-releases/raptors-casey-agree-to-three-year-deal/|title=blogs - Toronto Raptors}}</ref>

On November 1, 2015, Casey surpassed [[Sam Mitchell (basketball)|Sam Mitchell]]'s franchise record for wins, getting his 157th against [[Milwaukee Bucks]] with the score of 106–87.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.raptorsrepublic.com/2015/11/01/dwane-casey-sets-franchise-record-with-157th-victory/|title=Dwane Casey sets franchise record with 157th victory|first=Blake|last=Murphy|date=November 2, 2015|website=Raptors Republic}}</ref>
