Pat Riley

[Plastic Man]

This guy is so shady yet nobody seems to question him because he's an "all-time great coach". I think he is scum.

First he quits as coach of the Heat after they went 25-57 in '02-'03. Stan VanGundy takes over and wins 42 games in '03-'04.

They trade for Shaq and win 59 games in '04-'05. They are first in Southeast division through December 12, 2005 (even though Shaq was injured) when SVG "resigns" so he can "spend more time with his family". Coincidentally Riley takes over as coach and six months later the Heat win it all (at the free throw line).

Last season Wade the hero comes back from a shoulder injury in time to be swept by the Bulls in the first round. Now Riley claims Wade's injury was more severe than they thought. Of course we never heard that until now that the Heat are 8-27 and losing to teams like Minnesota.

Riley has more excuses than Woody, and Woody never had the mafia/ref connections (which I suppose Riley had). Shaq can't even run. Wade is too banged up. Riley "can't deal with the players' personalities". SVG is not exactly "spending more time with his family". Oh well time for Riley to abandon ship! What a clown.
