Chris Quinn has coached under Erik Spoelstra with the Miami Heat for more than a decade, moving from assistant to associate. He has interviewed for head coaching jobs but has continued to be passed over. Heat fans increasingly expect Quinn to eventually leave for a head coaching role where he is not overlooked. Quinn has been part of Miami’s competitiveness, including two finals runs over the past six years and major deep playoff runs. His long NBA coaching experience contrasts with JJ Redick’s rapid rise as a younger coach. Quinn’s resume is presented as stronger due to 12 years of coaching, making him a logical candidate for a head coaching chance.
"It's rare for a team to retain assistant coaches for over a decade, especially when that team hasn't won a title in that time. That's not to say the Heat haven't been competitive during Quinn's tenure on the bench beside Spoelstra. In fact, Quinn was right there during Miami's two finals runs over the past six years, including all of their unprecedented deep playoff runs in between."
