It was both an introduction of a new member of the YES Network ... and a great piece of live television.
Setting the stage: Just before play resumed in the second quarter, Meghan Triplett appeared courtside with a young member of the YES team and the Eagle family. Noah Eagle, however, was curiously adorned with a headset as if he was ready to go to work.
Eagle, 27, is scheduled to begin his YES career as a Nets play-by-play announcer at Barclays Center Saturday, following in his father Ian’s well-worn footsteps. So why the headset? That mystery was quickly solved.
