The Knee Jerks Podcast - Eno, Nick and Big Al


May 19, 2021

Long-time Detroit sports bloggers and podcasters Greg Eno and Big Al Beaton are The Knee Jerks! 

This week we welcome a special guest - Stan Heath, reigning NBA G-League coach of the year and new head men's basketball coach at Eastern Michigan University. In a wide ranging discussion, Stan talked about his past as a player, assistant and head coach at the mid-major and Power 5 level, including appearances in the NCAA tournament, what it was like running a G League team in midst of a pandemic while living in a bubble, and his plans for the upcoming season with the Eagles.

In the second half of the show, along with the Birthday Game and the Jerk of the Week, this week's topics include:

Pistons head coach Dwayne Casey was given a one-year contract extension. To be honest, Casey deserved it
