Pat Riley is a scumbag, I knew once the Heat landed Shaq that Van Gundy was on borrowed time. It was only a matter of time until Riley yanked the reigns back.

Well, the Heat should now be even better.

He will win with this team, but as far as Riley being a good coach (Better than Van Gundy in specific.), I disagree.

He fell into one of the best teams ever with the Lakers' job.

When he got to New York, the only thing he brought was Rah-Rah and his BS motivation tactics. When it was time to actually coach the game, he was substandard in x's and o's and in making lineup changes. (The best example of this was in the finals with John Starks.)

He was also the idiot who got Mark Jackson traded, and we haven't had a true floor general since.

Then Jeff Van Gundy whipped his ass again and again, with win Riley only winning when he went thug style.

Screw Riley!
