Miami Heat Franchise history
Rothstein years
In 1987, after some influence from Billy Cunningham, the NBA voted to
expand itself by adding four new teams. the Miami Heat came into the NBA
for the 1988-89 season with an unproductive first year. the team started
out the season by losing its first 16 games, an NBA record. the team
ultimately finished 15-67 under former Detroit Pistons assistant coach,
Ron Rothstein. the Heat picked
Glen
Rice from the
University of Michigan in the 1989
NBA
Draft and moved from the Midwest to the Atlantic Division for the
1989-90 season. However, the Heat continued having problems in the NBA
and never won more than two games in a row, en route to a 18-64 record.
