If Dwyane Wade re-signs with Miami, he didn’t sound too enthused about having Pat Riley back as his head coach, even taking a dig at the great Riley’s Miami coaching record.
Riley said earlier this week that he would consider coming back to coach if a free agent he was recruiting wanted him to return.
“Let me say it like this, I’ve won a championship with Coach Riley and I’ve won 15 games with Coach Riley,” Wade told The Post. “So it all depends on what year it is. We’ve had success. We’ve had turmoil. So it all depends.”
Wade, who was at the NBA Store with Queen Latifah promoting the new basketball movie, “Just Wright,” said he wasn’t surprised to hear Riley speak out.
“If you know coach, you know he’s never lost the passion,” Wade said. “He stepped aside to run the organization, but he never lost the passion to coach. I wasn’t surprised at all. I understand where his mindset is, but at the same time Erik Spoelstra is still our coach, so I’m not putting much into it.”
