Stangely enough, Riley is the coach that most NBA players want to play for.
Players(other than Todd Day) love him.

For some reason players like that. Players know that if you play for Riley
and accept his teachings you will do very well. With Brent Barry and
Mashburn as notable exceptions, Riley takes mediocre players and turns them
into gold(i.e. Tim Hardaway, Isaac Austin, Mark Strickland).
