Source: Riley Will Return To Coach Heat
League sources have told the New York Daily News that Pat Riley will at some point replace Erik Spoelstra as head coach of the Heat.
"Pat won't come back for just Wade and Bosh, because that's not a sure thing in Pat's mind," said one Eastern Conference coach before Miami officially landed LeBron James.
"But with LeBron and those two, that's a sure thing for Pat. He will come back if they get LeBron."

It will, don't you worry. They will need to lockout that's been talked about to fix all it, who the is going to watch it after all the BS this summer? I expect besides from the heat ticket sales to go down and tv ratings maybe as well. Most everyone here in NJ I've talked with agrees and that includes people that like the Heat. The players have ruined the game
lol thinking this will destroy the NBA.
I guess you have looking forward to revenge on the suns next season...
Not really, Suns are gonna suck and Spurs will most probably be the same as they were last year.

Still a gutless, classless move by Riley if true. I'll have zero respect for him as a coach if he does this. Must be nice to only coach teams that have the possibility of being dominant, and letting other coaches take the rap for the years the team sucked.
true, it will pretty much be irrelevant.
Stick this one into the "no " file. Never a chance in Riles was going to let Erik Freaking Spoelstra run this circus. He threw a 10x better coach in Stan Van Jeremy under the bus and he was going to keep Spoelstra around to coach? Never.
The skunk & the skunkee, eh?
Yer all just adorable.

ok
If you read the damn link, it says "If they get LeBron, Pat will return"
so that was before even LeBron made his decision.
it's just speculation.
Pat Riley will not coach the Heat, I am telling you 100% sure down here in Miami, we know it.
, mother er, Thursday night you were sure James was going to choose the Cavs.
along with the large majority of the world.
this was a huge shocker.
Please. You only said it to save your chicken ass.
Riley won't coach this year. He'll wait until 2011-12 when Spoelstra has a family emergency he has to tend to.
gtfo
my balls are so big, you wouldn't be able to lift them
CLE was the logical choice.
actually I'm pretty sure a majority of the world didn't care what the happened, only us stupid American's cared to hear and maybe a couple from other places.
especially the stupid ass San Antonio Americans.
i'm an american
the usa IS the world.
America is a country in the world, it isn't the world. And I'm American too and know lots of people who don't give a about where Lebron ended up like all of us who just want to suck these players s, more power to the people who don't care a because we should give a about them either. BASEBALL is better sport![]()
Ghazi's globe says otherwise.
Pat Riley>Phil Jackson. Dynasty time.
Back-to-back.
Get to it, daddy-O.
Chop, chop.
Thing is, for a LeBron-and-Wade-led team to work they need a coach that can exert some kind of authority over them.
While it does reek of opportunism, it also makes more sense for Riley to coach this team than Spoelstra. He will get more out of them and keep them from playing every game like it's the All Star Game.
