As the rumors swirl ahead of a possible Miami Heat offseason makeover, Tyler Herro is hoping to make a stand. As a stronger presence on the court. And as a strong advocate of coach Erik Spoelstra. Working under Spoelstra this week as a member of USA Basketball’s Select Team during pre-Olympic training in Las Vegas, the second-year guard said he views the experience as a bonding moment.
“I think it’s unique because I’m able to just continue to build a strong relationship with coach Spo,” Herro said. “I plan on playing with him for a while, and that’s my plan. I hope that happens. “So I continue to just build a strong relationship with him. I think this experience for both of us is big.”
