BT and Sal engage in a heated debate over the New York Knicks' hiring of Mike Brown as head coach. BT enthusiastically supports the move, praising Brown's offensive prowess, likable personality, and potential to connect with players, believing he'll provide a fresh, positive energy. Sal, however, vehemently opposes the hire, deeming Brown a "retread" and a downgrade from Tom Thibodeau, criticizing his past coaching record and expressing skepticism that Brown can lead the Knicks to a championship, resulting in a fiery clash of opinions on the team's future.

BT and Sal engage in a heated debate regarding the New York Knicks' hiring of Mike Brown as head coach. BT champions Brown's resume, highlighting his past success with winning teams and his potential to elevate the Knicks' offense and utilize their star players, particularly Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, more effectively than his predecessor, Tom Thibodeau. Conversely, Sal expresses strong skepticism, viewing Brown as a "retread" whose previous successes were overly reliant on generational talents like LeBron James, questioning his ability to lead the Knicks to a championship given his past postseason shortcomings and perceived lack of sustained success outside of those situations. The conversation delves into contrasting coaching philosophies, player utilization, and the realistic championship aspirations for the Knicks under Brown's leadership.

BT and Sal kick off their second hour in a heated debate over the Knicks' controversial hiring of Mike Brown. Sal, firmly against the decision, argues that Brown's resume – marked by short stints, past playoff failures, and even with LeBron James – makes him a questionable choice to lead the Knicks to a championship, especially compared to the recently fired Tom Thibodeau, who built a "sustained winner." BT, while acknowledging the risks, defends Brown, highlighting his success in Sacramento, his perceived ability to connect with modern players, and the need for a fresh, more offensively-minded approach to unlock the full potential of stars like Brunson and Towns, a dynamic that he believes Tibbs failed to address.

In "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth," BT and Sal go head-to-head, dissecting bold statements presented by Intern Nick and declaring them either undeniable "truth" or blatant "lie." The segment kicks off with a Yankees trade debate: will they deal Spencer Jones or George Lombard at the deadline? BT firmly states it's a "lie," protecting Lombard as a system jewel, while Sal counters with a "truth," predicting Jones is expendable. The fiery exchange continues as they tackle the Knicks' coaching future, with Sal dismissing Mike Brown's ability to surpass Tom Thibodeau's playoff wins as a "lie," and BT defiantly calling it a "truth," betting on Brown's superior coaching. Finally, the gridiron takes center stage, as both agree it's a "bald faced lie" that Garrett Wilson will out-gain Malik Nabers in receiving yards, citing the Giants' likely reliance on Nabers and the Jets' run-heavy offense.

BT and Sal are fired up discussing the latest Knicks news, with Rick Brunson's role reportedly being cut back under new head coach Mike Brown. While the organization claims this move grants Brown more control and addresses "distractions" or perceived conflicts of interest, Sal argues it's a dangerous demotion that could create an untenable situation for Rick, ultimately jeopardizing the relationship with star player Jalen Brunson. Given Jalen's close bond and loyalty to his father and his support for former coach Tom Thibodeau, the demotion is seen by some as a potential misstep that could upset the Knicks' franchise player and lead to further instability, despite Rick reportedly being "on board" with the change for now.

Sal Licata expresses strong disapproval of the New York Knicks' decision to hire Mike Brown as their new head coach, viewing it as a significant downgrade from the recently fired Tom Thibodeau. Licata argues that Brown, despite his Coach of the Year accolades, has a history as a "failed head coach" who hasn't won a championship and largely succeeded due to coaching LeBron James. He vehemently believes this "retread" hire doesn't align with the Knicks' stated goal of winning an NBA title, raising concerns about Brown's ability to instill discipline and truly elevate the team, especially compared to Thibodeau who guided them to their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years.

Sal Licata's show today delivered a passionate breakdown of the Yankees' recent struggles, particularly their "sloppy" play, organizational failures in player development, and what he sees as a disconnect between the front office's analytics-driven approach and the reality on the field. He expressed frustration with players like Ben Rice being played out of position and the regression of Anthony Volpe, while also touching on the Mets' own inconsistencies and the Knicks' controversial hiring of Mike Brown, which he views as a downgrade from Tom Thibodeau. Licata's fiery commentary underscored a broader theme of demanding accountability from New York sports teams who, in his view, often believe they are better than their on-field performance suggests.

The Knicks have finally hired a new head coach, now all the attention shifts to Mike Brown's coaching staff. According to reports, Brown has already made a number of decisions on his coaching staff. But when you look at it, you start to see a trend. Many of the coaching staff for Brown used to be here under Thibodeau, so why are they here now?

Kris Pursiainen on the New York Knicks' 2025 offseason thus far, including Wednesday's news that the team is hiring Mike Brown as its next head coach after firing Tom Thibodeau.

In the fiery final hour of their show, BT and Sal dive deep into the breaking news that Mike Brown is expected to be named the new head coach of the New York Knicks. Sal vehemently expresses his disappointment, questioning the hire as a step down from Tom Thibodeau, arguing that Brown, despite his Coach of the Year accolades, hasn't won a championship as a head coach and that his success was largely tied to LeBron James. BT, however, defends the move, citing Brown's strong winning percentage, experience with high-profile organizations and players like Kobe Bryant and Steph Curry, and the potential for a more dynamic offense, believing this change is necessary to elevate the Knicks to a championship level. The hosts also touch upon the Yankees' player development issues, the potential (and highly debated) acquisition of Ben Simmons, and the ongoing saga of LeBron James possibly coming to New York, all while fielding impassioned calls from listeners debating the future of their respective New York teams.

BT and Sal are split on the news of Mike Brown being named the Knicks' new head coach. BT is surprisingly upbeat, praising Brown's resume and seeing him as a solid hire with the right personality and offensive acumen for a team ready to win. Sal, however, is seething, seeing Brown as a "retread" and a downgrade from Tom Thibodeau, questioning how this hire aligns with the Knicks' stated goal of winning a championship and expressing skepticism about Brown's ability to elevate the team after being fired by the Kings. The conversation quickly devolves into a fiery debate over Brown's coaching record versus Thibodeau's, and the implications for the Knicks' championship aspirations.

BT's initial reaction to the breaking news of the Knicks hiring Mike Brown is largely positive, rating it a "solid eight" out of ten, highlighting Brown's personality and offensive acumen as crucial for a team now expected to win a championship. He contrasts Brown's likely approach with Tom Thibodeau's "grunt work" personality, suggesting Brown brings a needed offensive flow. Sal, however, is vehemently against the hire, calling Brown a "retread" and expressing disappointment that this is the Knicks' answer to firing Thibodeau with the singular goal of winning a championship, further expressing his distaste for the idea of the Knicks even "kicking the tires" on Ben Simmons.

EPISODE 112 – THE JUNGLE SQUAD CAST Hosted by Ape Loso (@apeishere_), Rad (@radical_jl), and Rahh (@_rahhbanks)

In a candid interview, Ian Begley of SNY provides a no-nonsense look at the New York Knicks' ongoing coaching search and roster moves. Discussing the abrupt firing of Tom Thibodeau, Begley offers insights into whether there was a pre-existing plan, the involvement of players like Karl-Anthony Towns in exit meetings, and the current status of potential candidates like Mike Brown and the fading chances of Jason Kidd. He also delves into the unusual process of making roster changes without a head coach, the impact of James Dolan's involvement, and the long-shot possibilities of acquiring stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo or LeBron James, all while providing his signature unfiltered analysis.

BT and Sal delve into the swirling rumors of Jason Kidd potentially becoming the next Knicks head coach, with Sal asserting that Kidd views it as a "dream job" and the only move that aligns with a coherent plan for the team, given the "smoke" around his name. While Sal believes Kidd is a good coach and a familiar face to Jalen Brunson, he expresses significant reservations about Kidd's past character and loyalty, acknowledging his "slippery" nature. BT questions if Kidd is a definitive upgrade over Tom Thibodeau, but concedes Kidd's differences might benefit the current Knicks core, especially concerning Jalen Brunson. The conversation also touches upon the intense scrutiny a Knicks coach faces and whether Kidd possesses the alpha personality to handle New York's demanding media and fanbase, ultimately concluding that a Kidd hiring would, at least, signify the Knicks finally have a "plan."

0:00 ... Show open ... Bruce Bernstein introduces co-host Michael "World B" Freer and our special guest Dave Wohl, the former player, coach, and general manager. 0:56 ... Dave reflects on the just concluded NBA Finals series between the OKC Thunder and Indiana Pacers.  Dave felt that these two teams may meet again in the Finals at some point. 2:06 ... World B points out that OKC may not even have shown the best version of what they can still become as a team.  Dave praises OKC GM Sam Presti for the way he built the Thunder into a championship squad. 4:36 ... Bruce points out that NBA players voted Tyrese Haliburton the "most overrated" player in the league and silly they look now.  Dave explains how Haliburton's growth whas been so much fun to watch. 5:59 ... World B asks about whether the league has to address the length of the season given the number of high profile injuries.  Dave explains why that may not be feasible but suggests a lengthy break midway through the season so players can mentally and physically recharge. 8:40 ... Bruce points out the uniform numbers of the three players who suffered the achilles were all "0."  Dave points out how achilles injuries can be so random. 9:53 ... Shai Gilgeous Alexander was originally drafted by the Clippers and traded to OKC in Sam Presti's greatest move.  Dave goes through some of Presti's moves while also defending the trade with LA due to the wishes of owner Steve Ballmer. 12:45 ... Bruce transitions to the Kevin Durant trade where he went from the Suns to the Rockets and asks Dave if this closes the gap between the Rockets and the Thunder.  Dave likes the deal for Houston but thinks they may miss Dillon Brooks and his defense. 14:59 ... Did the Rockets simply give up on Jalen Green?  Dave feels Durant gets them closer to a title more quickly than Green ever could. 17:17 ... How does this deal affect the future of the Phoenix Suns franchise given their bad salary situation? 19:10 ... The New York Knicks' pursuit of the coaches from five other teams has affected their relationships with a lot of teams.  How much damage was done?   The Knicks didn't have a plan and now whomever they sign will be their 6th or 7th choice. 21:50 ... In spite of the Knicks mis-steps, they're still a premier eastern conference team, so is it better for the NBA to have a lot of teams that COULD win as opposed to fewer elite teams like OKC that could be a future dynasty? 24:06 ... Bruce asks Dave about Tom Thibodeau's decision to bring Josh Hart off the bench and whether the fact that Hart suggested the change might have caused Knicks management to question Thibs' leadership. 27:25 ... The Lakers will be sold for $10 billion and as a former member of the Lakers organization, Dave has some thoughts on how the "Mom and Pop" nature of the team might change under a more corporate ownership.  Jeanie Buss will still represent the team as their "Governor," but her input on basketball decisions might be affected. 29:54 ... How will the price tag for the Lakers affect the entry fees for the next NBA expansion teams, which are expected to be Seattle and Las Vegas? 32:08 ... Dave sounds off on what expansion teams are like to work for since he worked for the Miami Heat when they were an expansion team.  He feels that expansion teams start with a clean slate and can build their own unique culture.  Dave hired Erik Spoelstra as video coordinator and explains why Spo' appealed to him as a young potential hire. 34:27 ... The NBA Draft is on Wednesday night and we discuss five "bottom feeder" teams and what their goals should be in the draft.  Danny Ainge and the Utah Jazz are first. 35:51 ... The Washington Wizards are next ... members of their management all worked in OKC and Dave feels they'll follow Sam Presti's model. 37:08 ... Washington is a major market while Oklahoma City is not.  Does that affect the Wizards' ability to use the OKC model, which requires patience. 39:04 ... The Charlotte Hornets are picking at #4 ... and have missed the playoffs the last 9 years ... they have some talent on the roster so they'll probably draft for a position. 40:32 ... New Orleans picks at #7 but Zion Williamson's lack of reliability really hurts this franchise and also negatively affects his trade value. 42:20 ... Philadelphia is a "bottom feeder" in name only as they were devastated by injuries last season.  Can they use the #3 pick wisely and get healthy in time for next season?  Will they have to use the trade market more than the draft in order to improve? 44:02 ... Philly's Joel Embiid was one of several Olympians who were injured this season but Dave feels that their injuries were not the result of their Olympic obligations.  Dave explains how players who work hard all summer can wear their bodies out even though they're not playing in games. 46:41 ... Bruce asks everyone for their overall thoughts on the season that just concluded.  Dave felt it was a "season of change." 47:52 ... World B feels like OKC is built for a run that could result in multiple titles. 49:30 ... Bruce wants to give Pacers coach Rick Carlisle his flowers for a sensational coaching job this season and how he will end up in Springfield one day. 50:22 ... Bruce wraps it up ... thanks everyone ... teases the NBA Draft and next week's show ... TRT 51:23

Does Leon Rose deserve the benefit of the doubt, even though it doesn't seem like he has a real plan? Kevin Durant and the Suns are reportedly working on a trade to his next destination, but what's the cost for the 36-year-old superstar? KD's career has also been a bit nomadic. How will his legacy be defined after yet another move? Plus, the mailbag!

On today's episode, ESPN & MSG basketball analyst Monica McNutt joins Bomani Jones to discuss Game 3 of the NBA Finals and the New York Knicks search for a head coach. The show starts with Bo and Monica agreeing that while the Pacers may not be better than the Thunder, they can certainly win the NBA title now that they're up 2-1 (1:51). They continue to praise the Pacers by saying how they're putting the great OKC defense in shambles (5:50) and when the stakes are high they never look scared in the moment (11:54). After the break, Bo and Monica agree it was time to move on from Tom Thibodeau as coach of the Knicks and why he got everything he could out of their current roster (31:00). Bo still predicts Jason Kidd will end up as head coach (32:03) and Monica believes the team needs to explore the availability of Kevin Durant (40:21). They round out the show by saying that the organization is left in a great spot but there is now pressure to win in New York. (51:05) . . .
