How come he didn't miss any games last year in his dual role? Or the year before?
How come in other sports this is never a problem for coaches with the dual role?
Oh that's right, because they don't quit on their teams like Riley does.
EDIT: And what reason do I have to be hating on the Heat or the Lakers, or really Riley?
Those questions are so easy it makes you look like a hater, green machine
1)
Why didn't he miss any last year? Because the HEAT own the worst record in the NBA this year at 11 wins, which guarantees a top 4 pick and at least most likely is going to be #1 or #2 pick of the DRAFT. Its very important we draft a very good player to go with WADE for our future.
Last year, the HEAT were a playoff team - correction - the defending champions. Nobody thought we were off to a sweep 4-0 by the Bulls in the first round. So the pick wasn't as important now was it?
2) How come in other sports this is never a problem for coaches with the dual role?
Um, what problem? HEAT are about to land the #1 or #2 pick most likely. HEAT want to rebuild around WADE fast. It's very important to Riley.
Secondly, why do you care if he tries to go see in person? What's your deal? You sound like you hate RILEY. He wants to avoid missing ANY games it says in the article, but even if he does miss any, it will only be 1 or 2 games but he gets the chance to SEE THE PLAYERS IN PERSON. That's awesome for him to do.
He COULD just be lazy and not go at all. Looks to me like he is just trying to do a good job in the draft and you are a stupid hater making something big out of nothing.
3) And what reason do I have to be hating on the Heat or the Lakers, or really Riley
I don't know haterboy, you tell me? Riley never backstab Stan Van Gundy. The players (mainly your boy Shaq) didn't like Stan. He wants to play only for Hall of Fame coaches like Phil Jackson and Pat Riley. This is public knowledge. Stan got fed up and Shaq most likely helped push him out to be fed up. Riley in no way back stabbed him. You are just spewing trash, so it's obvious to me you are a hater.
Lastly, you make a big deal out of a coach from -another team- who is about to get the #1 or #2 pick of the draft trying to go see the players in person and MIGHT miss no games or 1-2 games.
You are evidently a hater.
