    Welcome to part two of episode 17 of the Two Brits, One Orange Ball podcast with Bulls Insider for NBC Sports Chicago, K.C. Johnson. In this second part of the episode, we’ll cover Derrick Rose’s tenure with the Chicago Bulls, including going into detail about what it was like to cover his many injuries and the split of public opinion about whether he should play or not after being out for nearly a year having torn his ACL in the 2012 playoff match-up against the Sixers. We’ll cover Jimmy Butler’s fall out with the Chicago Bulls, Luol Deng and what he meant to the Bulls organisation - as well as going deeper into K.C.’s London 2012 experience where he met the late Jimmy Rogers after turning up at Brixton Rec. And finally, we’ll speak with K.C. about covering the second Bulls three peat and how reporting on the ground at the time differed from what we were shown in the Last Dance documentary.

  7. Episode 14 - Ian Macleod, Head Coach of the Newcastle Eagles

    26.11.2020

    Episode 14 - Ian Macleod, Head Coach of the Newcastle Eagles

    Ian Macleod is in his second year as the Newcastle Eagles head coach, having taken up the helm after Fab Flournoy, the former player/coach of the Eagles left to join Nick Nurse's staff on the Toronto Raptors in 2018. Fab’s input helped the Newcastle Eagles become the winningest franchise in BBL history - winning the treble three times since 2005, with star players such as himself, Charles Smith and Darius Defoe. The Eagles record boasts 7 BBL Championships, 6 BBL Playoffs wins, 5 BBL Cup wins and 7 BBL Trophy wins. In addition to this, Fab leads the Eagles in all-time, assists, blocks, rebounds and steals so not a bad mentor to have! When Charles Smith retired in 2016, this left the door open for the newly recruited PG Ramon Fletcher to take the helm for the clubs new era. Coach Macleod was an academy coach with the Eagles for over a decade before being given the chance to become an assistant coach by Fab in 2013, the year before Fletcher came to the team. Macleod had ambitions to become a coach from the age of five, initially in football but this quickly transitioned to basketball. In this podcast, we’ll discuss his successful first year campaign, winning the BBL Trophy against the up and coming NBL team, the Solent Kestrels - where he became one of very few coaches to win silverware in his first season. We’ll discuss what it’s like to build a team in the BBL, where year to year contracts are the norm and take a trip down memory lane to discuss his basketball journey as well as his aspirations for this year’s side, who have come out strong in the BBL Cup with a 3-2 record.
