Here's a look at how Pat Riley uses technology:
Pat Riley is a paint-by-numbers guy.He has always seen the picture, broken it down scientifically, then presented his findings to his players so they could give him a better picture in the next game.
The only difference over the years -- from his start as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979-80 to being head coach for the Miami Heat now -- is the technology.
He has gone from working with tapes that went blank when he rewound them to having a computer operations room with a staff, which isolates mistakes from every angle and quantifies them on a spreadsheet.
