Going to keep a close eye on coaching next year

Want to clarify that no, I don't want spoelstra to be fired. At all.

Clearly this was a transitional year in terms of the team/roster. However, and I know this is something most people agree on already, this was easily the worst year of Spo coaching we've seen, at least in a long time. Just mind boggling decisions all throughout.

If spo wasn't spo, he probably would have been put on the hot seat (if not straight up fired) after he called a timeout he didn't have against Detroit, essentially giving the pistons the game for free.

In past years when I would watch basketball I would often feel that the Heat were one of the more well-coached teams compared to the rest of the league. Safe to say, didn't really feel that much this year. Considering they led the league in blown double digit leads, and that Detroit gaffe I mentioned, I felt the opposite oftentimes.

It all culminated in the gutless games 3 and 4 of the first round, where it just felt like they didn't show up to play, both players and coaches.

All of this to say, obviously there's going to be a lot of change next year. I've been someone who has clamored for Spo to play the youth more, and I really hope he does next year. If I see more of the same from Spo, and it costs the team games next year, then I would advocate putting him on the hot seat. Maybe a hot take but just my thoughts
