Job Security for Miami Heat Head Coach Erik Spoelstra

I know that this is Erik Spoelstra's first job as head coach. I have faith that Spoelstra is doing his job the correct and right way. Why? Because Pat Riley hired him. Knowing who Pat Riley is, he is the former coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks. In his third NBA pit-stop, Riley led the Miami Heat to their first NBA championship in 2006. Pat Riley has a reputation for building strong championship teams, from his experience-building resume days with the Lakers and Knicks. If I know something about how Riley wanted to choose Erik Spoelstra as Miami Heat head coach, he knew what he was doing. He saw himself in Spoelstra. He saw a winner in Spoelstra. He saw potential in Spoelstra. Like himself, Riley saw what Spoelstra can do. Like any budding head coach in their first job at work, I believe that Riley knew that there were going to be struggles in their first year at year. From what we saw in the beginning 2010 NBA season, Spoelstra coached the Heat to a 9-8 start. Riley knew that the Heat were going to have struggles. This is common, in Riley's experience. If anything happens to this Heat team that have had its second consecutive win over a +.500 team like the Lakers just recently, it means nothing. It means that Erik Spoelstra knew what he was doing and he knows why Pat Riley hired him. To win a championship. To build a contending team out of Lebron James and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Surround them with tough-minded enforcers like Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Illgaukas, Erik Dampier, and Jamaal Magloire. Give the Heat dead-eye perimeter shooters and Spoelstra has Mike Miller, newly acquired Mike Bibby, Eddie House, and James Jones. Spoelstra has Udonis Haslem, a hard worker and probably the defensive sparkplug of this Heat team that will come back from his injury and give Miami some supporting boost for defense, rebounding, blocks, steals, and intangibles. Like Riley, Spoelstra preaches intangibles. No x's and o's for Erik. Spoelstra had faith that he knew why Pat Riley wanted him for this job. Spoelstra's not getting fired. I think that Miami will give opposing teams fits in the playoffs. I guarantee it.
