Tony Fiorentino, who has served as an assistant coach, scout and broadcaster with the Miami Heat organization since its inaugural season, will call his 15th and final season as the team’s television analyst next season before moving onto a role as a team ambassador, the Heat announced late Friday.
The Heat requested the change but wanted to give Fiorentino a farewell season as an analyst. Eric Reid, the team’s longtime play-by-play announcer who has also been with the franchise since its inaugural season, is not part of the change. The team and broadcast partner Fox Sports Sun are in the process of evaluating candidates to fill the impending vacancy.
