MIAMI — Pat Riley isn't ready for another retirement.

Riley said Monday he'll be back as coach of the Miami Heat for three more seasons, an announcement that ends months of speculation about his immediate future.

The 62-year-old gave up coaching in 2003, then returned two years later and led the team to the 2006 NBA title. But the team was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last spring and he was noncommittal for months about whether he'd remain on the sideline.

"I don't want to be a one-and-done guy," Riley said.

He said it's simply coincidental that his three-year commitment is the same length of time that Shaquille O'Neal has left on his contract and the amount of time before Dwyane Wade can opt out of his extension with the club.

"I will coach those out," Riley said. "I will try to coach those out."

Riley's 1,195 regular-season victories trail only Lenny Wilkens (1,332) and Don Nelson (1,232) in NBA history. Only two men — Phil Jackson and Red Auerbach — have led more teams to NBA championships than Riley, whose title with the Heat in 2006 was his fifth as a head coach.

His decision to return for the upcoming season wasn't unexpected.
