Patrick James "Pat" Riley (born March 20, 1945) is an American professional basketball executive, and a former coach and player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He has been the team president of the Miami Heat since 1995, a position that enabled him to serve as their de facto general manager and as their head coach in two separate tenures (1995 through 2003, and 2005 through 2008).
Widely regarded as one of the greatest NBA coaches of all time, Riley has served as the head coach of five championship teams and an assistant coach to another. He was named NBA Coach of the Year three times (1989–90, 1992–93 and 1996–97, as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Miami Heat, respectively). He was head coach of an NBA All-Star Game team nine times: eight times with the Western Conference team (1982, 1983, 1985–1990, all as head coach of the Lakers) and once with the Eastern team (1993, as head coach of the Knicks). In 1996 he was named one of the 10 Greatest Coaches in the NBA history. As a player, he played for the Los Angeles Lakers' championship team in 1972. Riley most recently won the 2012 and 2013 NBA championships with the Miami Heat as their team president. He is the first North American sports figure to win a championship as a player, coach (both assistant and head), and executive. He received the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award from the NBA Coaches Association on June 20, 2012.

The beauty of a broken angel
I ventured carefully afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled
You take me by the hand
i question who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe that what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
My memory refused to separate the lies from truth
And search the past my mind created
I kept on pushing through
Standing resolute which you
In equal measure loved and hated
You take me by the hand
I'm seeing who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe that what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
You take me by the hand
I'm sure of who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe that what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
The pictures come to life
Wake in the dead of night
Close my eyes I must be dreaming
Clutch my pillow tight
Brace myself for the fight
