According to FoxSports.com, Pat Riley has scheduled an afternoon news conference during which he is expected to step down as Heat head coach, according to multiple reports out of Miami.
Riley will stay on as team president, according to the reports, a role he had previously assumed along with his coaching duties.
Assistant coach Erik Spoelstra is expected to be named Riley's replacement at the 4 p.m. ET news conference, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
The Heat are coming off one of the most abysmal seasons in team history, finishing with a 15-67 record that matched the franchise's worst.
The record was also Riley's worst in 25 years of coaching. He ranks third in NBA history with 1,210 career victories.
Since winning the NBA title in 2006, the Heat are just 59-105.
