Question

Will Heat owner insist Pat Riley coach the team? What do you think?

Answer 1

Heat are off to a sluggish 5-4 start. They’re clearly still figuring out how the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh best fit together, and they seem to be playing with little energy. While it’s way too soon to write them off, there are already rumblings that team president Pat Riley will end up replacing coach Erik Spoelstra on the bench. Back in May, Riley said he'd give a return to coaching "some thought" if a free agent wanted him in that role. But, according to Yahoo! Sports, Riley has insisted privately that he does not want to change his role in the front office and become the team's head coach.
