CLE that year had the 18th ranked offence. Heat this year? 3rd ranked offence.
Of course, its also tough to determine if a good assistant would be a good head coach (though he did okay with a poor MIN squad).... but you're alternative is?
As to how to determine whether he'd make a good head coach? I really don't know, but I think probably a lot more research than watching him sit on the bench on television.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

On #Hoops ... @SmithRaps tells me & @Paul__Jones that he thinks Dwane Casey is the man the #Raptors will hire. We concur. But we'll see.The NBA Larry O'Brien Trophy's 'Big Decision': "This is hard..(smiling)...but..I've decided to take my talents to North Texas, to join The Dallas Mavericks.

Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey has emerged as the clear favorite to land the Toronto Raptors' coaching job and could be installed as the team's new coach by next week, according to sources close to the situation. The Raptors began the week having narrowed their search for a successor to Jay Triano down to the former Minnesota Timberwolves coach and Boston Celtics assistant coach Lawrence Frank. But Toronto has since zeroed in on Casey after interviews with both men this week, drawn largely to Casey's success as the defensive coordinator for a Mavericks team that just won the first championship in franchise history.
Casey is our man

Sure, you won a Championship with Dallas, but why not ignore all the other offers you will have, including re-signing with Dallas, to come to the winters in Toronto to join a 22 win team who just grabbed the 5th pick in a weak draft! Oh, and we've got your old assistant coach, so that sure be the clincher!

Looks like Casey was in for an interview on Tuesday (the man barely had time to celebrate!).
Smith seems to think that Bryco is close to making a decision and it looks likes it could be Casey.

Many think that Casey wasn't important for the Mavs. But he designed their zone defense, and just like Thibodeau is a defensive minded assistant. The Raptors can afford to risk, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain from hiring Casey. The Raptors need to risk now, because the reward is potentially huge. Casey hasn't been given a proper chance to be a head coach (Anyone who mentions Minnesota, the year he was fired he had a 20-20 record and his successor had a 10-32 record. Also he lead them to a 20-20 record with a team worse than Cleveland now) and he deserves a chance.
