Or they brought him back because they really see the potential in him as a coach and they're not gonna just give up on him after 1 season where we came within 1 game of the NBA finals, had best net rating in the league, 2nd best record in league, Tatum sprained his ankle on the 1st play of game 7, Miami had the luckiest shooting series of all time and Joe had no offseason to prepare for being coach, had to coach with Ime's guys as assistants and the top assistant left to take a college job right before the playoffs so we gotta give him at least one season where he can actually prepare for being the HC and has some assistants that he actually hired?
