Pat Riley stepping down as Miami coach

Again


MIAMI (AP) — Pat Riley's worst season as coach of the Miami Heat will be his last.
A person close to Riley says the Hall of Fame coach, whose team finished the year with the NBA's worst record (15-67), is stepping aside as the Heat's on-court boss.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Heat has not officially announced the decision, says Riley will remain as team president, overseeing a plan to halt the team's dramatic fall after it won the NBA championship in 2006.
It's believed Riley could name his replacement on Monday as well. He has been grooming longtime assistant Erik Spoelstra for the job in recent years. That would follow the path Riley took when promoting Stan Van Gundy previously

Need a young coach with some young players. Spoelstra looks like he is 12. lol
