Spo started as a video coordinator and worked his way up. I have MAD respect for what he's done. I know everyone points to the talent and says "anyone should be able to win" with it. Throughout the history of the league, there have been teams loaded with talent that didn't get it done, so coaching in the NBA matters. Also, the Heat had 3 great starters in that first year together, but little else. It's almost impossible to win without some depth and solid complementary players. Spo did a solid job in getting them to the Finals in 2011, but lost to a more complete team.
