Pinoy Pride: Filipino is NBA's Youngest Head Coach
Labels: Basketball, NBA, Pinoy Pride 0 commentsYeah. You heard it right.
It may not be Mark Caguioa being signed by Toronto Raptors, or Ritualo by the Nets, or anywhere similar to the Hornets drafting Abbarientos, but it's as close as we could get right now. The 37-year-old Erik Spoelstra being the Miami Heat head coach after Pat Riley's retirement, that is.
The dude is Filipino, and Riley and the team likes him a lot, as he came from rock bottom as well. Having spent 13 years in the Heat's coaching staff, he has gained a lot of respect in the team, and in the league. Sign a Filipino player dude! The Heat could get some international players in this rebuilding phase around Wade, Marion, and their 2008 draft pick, hopefully Michael Beasley. Anyway, cool!
