Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey is a man who will do anything to win. He's either on his way to a fine by the league or he has added a distraction to his coaching strategy book to help his team achieve victory.
When his team struggles to guard the perimeter, and any area near the arcing 3-point line, Casey tries his best to rattle opposing players on the court without actually being on the court.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been hitting a high percentage of their 3-point shots this post season, and have managed to make 50 percent of their 3-pointers against the Raptors in the eastern conference finals.
Casey, sparing no expense seeing nothing wrong with the way he as the coach defends the 3-point shot.
@WolstatSun yes, but not step on the court. that is quite illegal

So what exactly does Casey do and is it effective? Let's take a look at Exhibit's A and B from Game 4, so you can judge for yourself with the eye test.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
To be fair, NBA players practice all the time with hands in their faces, trainers pushing and bumping them for simulated game situations, and they even take constant heckling from opposing crowds. But it is strange for a coach to be actively involved in the play.
As long as Casey feels that it works, or until the league decides to stop him from taking that step on the court , he probably won't stop trying to distract opposing shooter during games.
