Two “Birds” are better than one!
According to Andrew Marchand of the Post, that’s YES Network’s plan for its Nets coverage this season. Marchand reports Monday that Noah Eagle, the 25-year-old son of Ian Eagle, will be joining the YES broadcast starting December 2 when the Nets face the Magic at Barclays Center.
Ian Eagle, who’s been calling Nets games for 30 years — five years before Noah was born, will continue calling Nets games as will Ryan Ruocco, but the two mainstays of YES coverage are increasingly popular across the broadcast and cable spectrum with gigs covering the NBA, WNBA, NCAA men’s and women’s basketball as well as the NFL between them.
