Pinoy Coach

Did you know that new Miami Heat coach Eric Spoelstra is half-Filipino? Eric is the son of an American father and a Filipino mother (Spoelstra is proud of his Filipino roots). He joined the Heat's staff as a video coordinator 13 years ago. Now, he takes over the reins as the new Miami Heat Head Coach with Riley announcing his stepping down from the coaching job (Pat Riley will still be president of operations for the Heat).
I have to say that I am very excited about the Heat next season. The possibility of either Beasley or Rose or Lopez joining, Wade and Marion fully rested, a Filipino coach, and no expectations. I honestly believe that the Heat will be back into playoff contention next year and possibly contend for the championship one or two years down the road.
