    This is after Miami Heat won against Chicago Bulls in NBA Eastern Conference Final playoffs.

    Prior to this record, Spoelstra was recognized for being the first Filipino-American head coach of any North American professional sports team and the youngest head coach who started at the age of 37.

    His records also include being a bench tactician of Miami Heat, wherein during the time he started head coaching in 2008-2009 season the team's previous season record of 15 wins - 57 losses was changed to 43-39 win-loss record.

    Erik Spoelstra, 40, was born to an Irish-Dutch-American father Jon and a Filipino mother Elisa Celino who hails from San Pablo, Laguna, Philippines.

    Spoelstra was picked to replace legendary coach Pat Riley to lead the Heat's campaign in April 2008.Source URL: https://celebrityvma2011.blogspot.com/2011/05/miami-heat-fil-am-coach-erik-spoelstra.html
