Patrick James Riley (born March 20, 1945) is an American professional basketball executive, former coach, and former player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He has been the team president of the Miami Heat since 1995, and he also served as the team's head coach from 1995 to 2003 and again from 2005 to 2008.Often referred to as "the Godfather", Riley is regarded as one of the greatest NBA figures of all time both as a coach and executive. He has won five NBA championships as a head coach, four with the Los Angeles Lakers during their Showtime era in the 1980s and one with the Heat in 2006. Riley is a nine-time NBA champion across his tenures as a player (1972), assistant coach (1980), head coach (1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2006), and executive (2012, 2013). He is the first North American sports figure to win a championship as a player, as an assistant coach, as a head coach, and as an executive. Since the start of his NBA career through 2023, Riley has reached 19 NBA finals across six different decades,[1] making 25 percent of all NBA Finals as a player, coach, or executive.[2]Riley was named NBA Coach of the Year three times (1989–90, 1992–93 and 1996–97, as head coach of the Lakers, New York Knicks and Heat, respectively). He was head coach of an NBA All-Star Game team nine times: eight times with the Western Conference team (1982, 1983, 1985–1990, all as head coach of the Lakers) and once with the Eastern team (1993, as head coach of the Knicks). In 1996, he was named one of the 10 Greatest Coaches in NBA history. In 2008, Riley was inducted in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach.[3] He received the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award from the NBA Coaches Association on June 20, 2012.

In this episode of On The Ball (United WeCast Network), Ric Bucher breaks down the widening gap between American-born NBA stars and their international counterparts — and what it says about player development, discipline, and leadership in today's game.Bucher dives into the latest around Ja Morant, including front-office chatter about his trade value, locker-room issues, and whether the Memphis Grizzlies can still build around him. He compares Ja's stalled maturity and Zion Williamson's lack of evolution to the steady growth and professionalism of Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić, and Giannis Antetokounmpo — stars who treat the game as craft, not performance.Ric also examines why American player development has fallen behind Europe's, how Pat Riley's shift toward international talent reflects a changing NBA, and what the Chicago Bulls' surprising start reveals about teamwork over showmanship.From leadership accountability to the future of U.S. basketball, this episode challenges the culture of “flash over fundamentals” and asks the question: What happened to making American players great again?
Can the Miami Heat fix Ja Morant? Crowder thinks it's a no brainer and the Heat should trade for him.
0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, introduction of the panel. 0:36 ... Show #195 is dedicated to the late Anthony Mason who played for the Knicks in 1995 under Pat Riley. 1:34 ... The Chicago Bulls continue their strong early season run and the guys break down what has been going to well. Josh Giddey has been leading the way for Billy Donovan's team even though their forwards are not grabbing many rebounds. 6:20 ... The matchup between the Bulls and 76ers on Tuesday night will feature a fascinating matchup between guards Tyrese Maxey of Philly and Giddey. The winner of the game will also take over the top spot in the east. 9:08 ... The New York Knicks have not been firing on all cylinders early in the season as they adjust to new head coach Mike Brown. The Knicks are shooting a lot more 3 pointers than they did last season but there does not appear any reason to panic in New York. Bruce feels that Jordan Clarkson's impact will eventually be felt as he competes for the 6th man of the year award. 14:10 .... The Orlando Magic have also been shaky out of the gate with their first four games all on the road. Desmond Bane came over from Memphis to shoot 3 pointers but so far has shot mostly blanks. Bruce feels their defense and rebounding will carry them to greater success and Bane will eventually remember how to make threes. Ross is very concerned about the free throw shooting by the Magic which is only around 75% right now 19:10 ... The Oklahoma City Thunder have started the season 7-0 and our guys predict when their first loss may take place. Bruce and Ross see it coming in a day or two while World B feels they'll remain undefeated into next week. 21:44 ... The Portland Trailblazers have responded well to new coach Tiago Splitter who replaced Chauncey Billups when the gambling scandal sidelined him. Jrue Holiday, Jerami Grant, and Donovan Clingan have all excelled in the early going. World B credits their aggressive defense and insane hustle as huge factors in their success. Once Scoot Henderson returns from his injury, their defense should improve even more. 27:11 ... Trae Young of the Hawks will miss at least a month with an MCL injury. His shooting has been terrible but maybe the mental break due to injury might help him to reset things when he returns. World B has some stats supporting the Hawks' offensive improvement with Young sidelined. Ross points out that with no other point guards on the roster, Atlanta will have to run their offense in a non-traditional way. 30:39 ... Ja Morant is also creating a mess in Memphis with his poor attitude. He was suspended for insubordinate behavior and it won't be long before the trade rumors start up in earnest. Simply put, he needs to GROW UP. 35:07 ... "True or False" The guys check in on whether the San Antonio Spurs will win 50 games and finish in the top 4 in the west. 38:05 ... "True or False" Everyone checks in on whether Nikola Jokic will set the single season record for triple doubles (currently 42 by Russell Westbrook). 40:17 ... The final "True or False" question ... Someone other than Stephen Curry will lead the league in 3 pointers made. 42:05 ... Ross says goodbye TRT 42:18 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On The Ball with Ric Bucher delivers sharp, no-nonsense NBA analysis from veteran insider Ric Bucher (FS1, Fox Sports Radio) on the United WeCast Network. In this episode, Ric examines how the NBA's entertainment engine shapes today's game and player development, contrasting it with EuroLeague and international club systems. He spotlights Pat Riley's shift toward international talent with the Miami Heat, why European training (movement, passing, team concepts) is closing the gap, and how global stars like Nikola Jokić, Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Victor Wembanyama are redefining MVP conversations.Ric then zooms into on-court problem solving: why scorers must also be playmakers, using Anthony Edwards' struggles vs. a box-and-one as a case study, and why teams like the Rockets (even with Kevin Durant) need a true table-setter. He breaks down Ime Udoka's blueprint for maximizing KD (pinch-post touches, free-throw-line catches), and offers practical context on early-season rotations and experimentation—citing the Warriors, Steve Kerr, and how constraints from sports science impact lineups. If you want basketball talk that connects NBA strategy, international hoops, and player development—with clear takeaways you won't hear elsewhere—subscribe and follow @RicBucher for weekly episodes.
Joe and Hollywood recap an incredible night in sports, starting with the Dodgers' 18-inning World Series thriller capped by a Freddie Freeman walk-off home run. They discuss why the Chiefs look like one of the toughest teams to beat after their Monday Night Football win, and Shohei Ohtani's unbelievable two-homer, two-double performance. Plus, Joe says Pat Riley and Mickey Arison have every right to be furious over the Terry Rozier trade and the NBA's failure to alert the Heat about his gambling allegations.

so none of my so-called friends thought it was worth mentioning that the National Crime Prevention Council's ill-advised 1988 cassette, ‘McGruff's Smart Kids Album' had recently been reissued on multiple formats by some enterprising record label and all available copies are G O N E. On the endless list of things going wrong near and far, this probably ranks rather low when it comes to issues to be massively upset over. But as you have probably learned by now, with the possible exception of Pat Riley when he was still young enough to have Kurt Russell and Michael Douglas emulate him in mainstream films, no one knows how to manufacture outrage like me. So here we are — another two hours of highly manufacture outrage, as pathetic as it is performative, with occasional (well, 117 minutes) musical interludes. Not playing anything from ‘McGruff's Smart Kids' this time because I'm NOT FUCKING YOO TOOB (and I'm still mad, outraged, even).Show less

Wade sets the record straight on Mark Cuban’s “rigged” claims, highlighting the Heat’s resilience, Pat Riley’s leadership, and the value of veterans like Gary Payton.

0:00 .... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the crew of Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer." Show number 170 is dedicated to Devin Booker, who scored a career high 70 points in a loss to the Celtics back in March of 2017. 1:07 ... The NBA released the full schedule for the upcoming season and each member of the show picked three games they have "circled" on the schedule. Bruce leads us off with an opening night matchup between the Thunder and Rockets and the return of the NBA on NBC on October 21st. 2:25 ... World B chooses Warriors/Lakers on opening night, also on NBC. 3:36 ... Ross chooses Bucks/Pacers and Myles Turner's return to Indiana as a member of the Bucks. 4:20 ... Bruce is intrigued by the first meeting between the Magic and Knicks on November 12th. 5:09 ... World B looks forward to Spurs/Mavericks on October 22nd in a matchup with Cooper Flagg and Victor Wembanyama. 6:28 ... Ross looks forward to Kevin Durant's return to Phoenix on November 24th. 7:37 ... Bruce is excited about the first matchup between the Pacers and Celtics on December 22nd. 8:39 ... World B looks forward to the Christmas Day matchup with the Cavaliers and Knicks at the Garden. These are the likely top two teams in the east. 10:08 ... March 21st marks the Bucks visit to Phoenix as Ross looks forward to his yearly reunion with Giannis Antetokounmpo on his once a year visit to Ross' hometown. 11:09 ... The NBA and the Players Association are backing additional limitations on prop bets in the wake of gambling investigations involving Malik Beasley and Terry Rozier. The crew examines all the angles of basketball wagering and wonders if it's possible to put the genie back in the bottle now that sports gambling has become so mainstream. Everyone agrees that the integrity of the game can be adversely affected by gambling and the league needs to act responsibly to protect the image of the league. 21:11 ... Each panelist discusses one significant move that was made by their favorite team in the off-season. Bruce picks the Celtics signing of Chris Boucher, the 8 year veteran who comes to Boston from Toronto. 22:33 ... World B feels the Knicks hiring of new head coach Mike Brown was a major move for the franchise. He compares the hiring to the Yankees hiring of Joe Torre back in 1996. 25:00 ... Ross loves the Cole Anthony signing for his Milwaukee Bucks and adds that the acquisition of Amir Coffey will also be a major boost for the Bucks. 26:52 ... The Lakers will honor former coach Pat Riley with a statue on February 22nd. The crew wonders why the Heat didn't honor him first, but all were thankful that the sculptor who did the Dwyane Wade statue in Miami isn't doing this one. 30:09 ... Bruce recounts some of the stories Lakers legend Michael Cooper told about Riles two weeks ago when he appeared on 48 Minutes. One of the best concerned how Riley buried secret words in each player's video splits that the coach later quizzed them on. 32:33 ... Final Thoughts .... Bruce is saddened by the fact that it seems certain that Al Horford will never play another game for the Celtics. If Big Al goes to Golden State, it's highly unlikely the Celtics will retire his #42. 34:58 ... World B talked about Major League Baseball's consideration of a realignment plan to keep the fans interested in the sport. Adam Silver has also tried some things in the NBA with the in-season tournament an play in games. World B praises Silver for his efforts. 38:00 ... Ross' final thought was to discuss some trades the Suns chose not to make when they dealt Kevin Durant. Miami made an offer that the Suns turned down and everyone shared their thoughts on why Phoenix made a better deal with Houston. Phoenix also could have made a deal where they acquired an unprotected #1 pick from New Orleans next season in the Durant deal and everyone feels like the Suns will regret not doing it. 43:06 ... Bruce shouts out to Shawn Bradley, who was paralyzed in a bike accident but appeared in public at a Big 3 game over the weekend in Dallas. It was one of the only times he's apeared in public since his bike crash in 2021. TRT 44:25

We never thought anyone would have the guts to come on this show and rank themselves... But now that they have announced that this is their final tour and album, Pat Riley and Alaina Moore of Tennis have decided to go where no guest has gone before. Today they gaze upon themselves in the deep dark pools of indie rock self awareness and come out with their heads held high and a richer understanding of all that came before and all that is to come. We love you TENNIS!
On today's show we talk some ESPY shade as Tobin was upset that the 2x defending Stanley Cup champs got no lobe from ESPN. They discuss HOF WR Randy Moss comments on Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill saying he isn't think he's an all timer. Tobin & Leroy talk about the Miami Heat as 2 former players recently commented on this Miami Heat team led by Pat Riley. Are they done making moves to improve this team>? Who will be starting? Who will have more of a role this season for the team? We play our favorite Thursday game Goosies or No Goosies and much much more. A lot of silly sauce.
Tobin kicks off Hour 3 fired up after spotting Bam Adebayo and Luka Dončić getting chummy together on vacation in Greece. Convinced this is the beginning of something big, he passionately yells at Pat Riley to “make it happen!” — bringing Luka to Miami. Leroy and Brittney, however, are quick to bring him back to Earth, calling him completely delusional. Next up, the guys react to AJ Greer taking the Stanley Cup back to his tiny hometown in Canada. With the Cup now on its victory tour, they debate who we should really be worried about bringing the Cup to some place wild next. Then it's time for Tobin to reach into the Mixed Bag: Derrick Lewis delivers a classic post-fight message for his wife Erik Spoelstra gets emotional about Duncan Robinson's departure And Spo makes it clear he's not buying into the “Eastern Conference is wide open” narrative — not for one second. Another hour packed with chaos, laughs, and just the right amount of delusion.
On this Monday edition of Tobin & Leroy, we kick things off by recapping our weekends, including Morgan Wallen's controversial concert appearance in a Cam Ward jersey. Then, we dive into NBA Summer League action, with standout performances and a rough showing from Kel'el Ware, followed by Coach Erik Spoelstra's thoughts.

Leroy also hands out his Game Balls and Game Bums of the week, including some heat for Tobin's weekend fight pick.
