Coach Pat Riley Taking Leave From Heat

What's going on with Miami coaches today? Is it snowing over there or something?

After former Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban left his NFL job for Alabama earlier today, Miami Heat coach Pat Riley announced he will take an indefinite leave of absence because of ongoing hip and knee problems. Top assistant Ron Rothstein will fill his spot on an interim basis.

The 61-year-old Riley disclosed his plans Wednesday, two days before surgery to remove floating chips in his right knee. He will not be with the team Wednesday night when it hosts the Los Angeles Clippers.
