From what I am hearing, Ron Rothstein will be the coach for now.

Probably wants to make time to catch a few bowl games with his family.

Look for him on the sidelines at the OSU/FLORIDA title game possibly too.

Both Miami coaches are quiters.

Riley quit in preseason about 4 years ago when he thought that his team would suck.

Then Van Gundy turns the team around, and he wants back.

Now they suck again, so he leaves.

Whoever takes his place better not win. Because as soon as they start winning riley will fire him and re take over.

Reminds me of Coach K taking that season off because of his "back".

Riles not quitting....it is due to health problems.

He is having knee and hip surgery.

I bet if Miami was 22-7 his health would be OK right now.

I cant stand the fact that he threw his buddy underneath the bus like he did.

Sorry Spread, I have an attitude against him. Cant help it.

Coach K took off long before that season fell apart...if anything it showed the value of his coaching.

I can see your point Chop...no way he would have came back if they didn't have a shot at winning it all.

As long as the Heat get the #8 spot for the playoffs, that is all they care about and Riley can step in as coach then.

riley is a weasel. Always has been, always will be.

If he had these same health issues last year would he have left? no way.
