pssh, he's still gonna be team president. why do these guys do this? If you're gonna be done, get out of the organization completely.

He'll probably take over again as soon as they make it to the playoffs

 

[ultrasur1]

he should walk away from basketball altogether

As a Lakers fan and fan of basketball. I have lost all respect for Riles. He need to get that smug-burnt-face out of the league. I don't like the MarioBros (Gundys), but I hope Stan is laughing his !+! off at Riles!

He just doesnt want the L's on his coaching record to catch up with the W's

 

[la laker devotee]

LOL.

 

[mjdalegend]

Pat Riley, I just want to coach good teams.

 

[b1lly hoyle]

It was just his time to step away.

Good opportunity for Erik and also cool from a diversity standpoint. It'll be interesting to see how a young coach can carry this team.

hell be back when they contending

Has there ever been an NBA Asian head coach before? I can't even imagine seeing a Filipino as a head coach.. awesome stuff. I always noticed him duringtimeouts, I thought he was the trainer. I would always be like "yo that dude looks Filipino, random".

Reggie Theus is 5/8ths Filipino and Mo Cheeks is 1/4.

 

[acidicality]

he'll be back, the ultimate "bandwagon" coach

This move doesnt really make sense...I mean the Heat were nowhere near sniffing another game until October so why now?

You have a top 5 draft pick with a healthy pool of young college athletes to choose from plus free agency and D. Wade having a few months to gethealthy.....The upcoming youthful movement sounds like the times where Miami was making a comeback to the EC Playoffs....So you "retire" until when?The Draft? Opening Game? All Star Game? 8th Seed race?

Ridiculous.
