    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI -- Pat Riley will resume coaching the Miami Heat following the All-Star break, an official within the NBA said Monday.

    The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Riley has not formally announced his plans. Riley is expected to announce his return at a news conference Wednesday morning in Miami. His first game back would be Feb. 21 at Houston.

    Riley's decision was first reported by WTVJ television and on the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Web site.</div>

    I didnt follow this closely, because i didnt watch much bball the last month or two, so why did he leave in the first place? All i knew was he left, but not what reason.

    You leave when the team's struggling, but return when they're winning. Good job Pat Riley.......

    he said he wanted to come back 2 weeks after the surgery (he had hip and knee surgery, notorious), but his doctors wouldnt let him. they said 4-6 weeks. he picked 4 b/c he wanted to come back as soon as he could. i can't understand why you're all mad at a guy for returning as soon as he could.

    i guarantee that if he wasnt about to return because he couldnt due to health reasons, then the heat began to lose again, and THEN he came back, you'd all be pissed off at him for returning to late or him trying to act like some hero coming in to save the day.

    Yeah he definately wasn't healthy but maybe Riley somehow planned his return. We all know his ways of motivating his players maybe this was one of them.
