Heat assistant coach David Fizdale is the team’s summer league coach. He says Cole will have the offense in his hands.
During the Heat season, Cole was a backup to starter Mario Chalmers. He’s one of three players from Miami’s title-winning roster headed out to this year’s summer league, joining Dexter Pittman and Terrel Harris.
