Without being prompted with a question about Spoelstra, Carlisle said, "Listen, I would like to say one thing about Miami if I could. I thought Erik Spoelstra had the toughest job in basketball with that team because of the way the team came together and because of the unbelievably high expectations."
Indeed, the new Heat lineup started this past season with a high level not only of expectations but also of criticism.
Carlisle added, "My hat's off to Erik and the job he did. It was extremely difficult, extremely trying. We went through a lot of difficult times before we got to our moment. Their time will definitely come."
