As someone whose expertise centers around being descriptive, veteran broadcaster Ian Eagle has a certain way with words.
Eagle boasts decades of experience, often jockeying between his main job as the play-by-play voice of the Brooklyn Nets on the YES Network with national duties. He calls NFL and college basketball games on CBS on top of his other notable task — serving as a play-by-play voice on TNT’s NBA telecasts.
So Eagle’s viewpoint is far from the ordinary. He has been around more than his fair share of coaches over the years and that includes plenty of time with Kenny Atkinson, the Charlotte Hornets’ new head coach.
