Riley “Commits” To Three More Heat Seasons

Pat Riley announced Monday he’d be back to coach the Miami Heat for three more seasons. But knowing Riles, he’s already changed his mind since I clicked “publish.”

“I’ve decided that I’m going to coach another three years, the terms of my contract, and that’s why it’s taken so long for me to make this decision,” he said. “I don’t want to be a one-and-done guy every year. I have three years left on my contract and I will coach those out . . . unless somebody else makes a decision on me.”

Sure you will, Riles. Sure you will. As you may recall, Riley has twice before left the Heat hanging. Last season, he conveniently dicked off for 22 games to undergo hip and knee surgeries, and in ‘03 he abruptly “took a break from the game” a mere four days before the start of the season.

Put another way: Pat Riley is NOT going to coach out this contract. No way. Hell, he didn’t even “cross his heart and hope to die,” did he?
