Pat Riley rejoined the Miami Heat on Monday after tending to family obligations for four days.

He hasn't changed a bit.

But his responsibilities certainly have. Riley suddenly is coaching one of the league's biggest headaches in point guard Rod Strickland, who signed with the Heat on Sunday.

Riley said he expects Strickland to attend all practices, something Strickland has had trouble doing in the past, and will not change his rules for anyone.
