[ Female Dispatcher ]
The streets of the Big Apple...

must be on fire tonight
with excitement.

[ Announcer Over Radio ] The Atlanta
fans extremely disappointed.

This was supposed to be an easy victory
over the New York Knicks.

The Hawks' foul trouble has created
a real opportunity for the Knicks...

but I have to wonder if the Knicks
are doing enough to exploit it.

- [ Dispatcher ] Well, Marv,
I'd say the answer is no.
- No!

With a halfway decent coach,
they'd probably be ahead by now.

[ Announcer ]
Stacy Patton shoots! Air ball!

- Why didn't he hit the open man?
- Damn it, Knicks, you suck!

[ Dispatcher ]
Because Stacy Patton is a showboater...

- who only averages 0.2 assists
per game, that's why.
- [ Announcer ] Duncan steals!

- Stacy Patton and Drew Hastings. Yes!
- Yeah! Yeah!

The Knicks take a two-point lead
for the first time in the game.

[ Dispatcher ] The Knicks take the lead
with 20 seconds to go.

- It doesn't get any better than this.
- [ Phone Ringing ]

Hold on, sports fans. We're experiencing
technical difficulties.

[ Announcer ]
Spud Webb to Doc Rivers.

Mike's Limo.

Oh, Achmed, it's you.
Oh-- [ Giggles ]

I need you to come in and get
the white-- Spud Webb shoots a three!

It's good!
Come get the white stretch.

Knicks coach John Bailey
calling for a time out.

Thank God. Bailey takes a 20-second
time out with 12 long seconds to play.

- [ Announcer Continues ]
- After you make the Plaza drop...

drive through the wings, make
the fast break down the F.D.R.
to the Long Island Expressway.

- The Atlanta crowd is greatly upset--
- We're back, sports fans.

- Mischa!
- I say no more basketball! No!

Do you want to
drive limo again?

You can fire me, take every cent
I have, but don't fool around
with the basketball game.

- No!
- Move your hand.

- No! No, no, no!
- Move your--

I pay you work, not watch T--
No! No, no!

- Aaah!
- [ Announcer ] Spud Webb to Doc Rivers.

Back to Webb.
For the three!

- Yes! The Hawks regain the lead...
- Okay, sports fans.

with six seconds left.

Coach John Bailey is disgusted
as his star hands the Hawks
the lead in this game.

- The Knicks still have a chance.
- Come on, Hastings, you can do this.

There's your play.
Pass to Duncan!

[ Announcer ]
Hastings on the hop to D-- Ohh!

Patton collides with Duncan, and at the
buzzer it's the Atlanta Hawks by two...

- [ Buzzer Sounds ]
- over the New York Knicks.

- What a heartbreaker tonight
as once again the Knicks...
- We blew it. We blew it.

- have snatched defeat
from the jaws of victory.
- Ohh, God!

You drive--
You drive a limo tomorrow!

welcoming you back
to WFAN, Fan Radio.

The sell rumors
have heated up again.

The Knicks, who at 14-39 have sunk
to new lows this season...

have announced
a press conference in one hour...

so we won't be in suspense
much longer.

Well, I don't give a shit
how much it costs. I want it.

Oh, my driver's
here at last.

- Are you the guy going to the Plaza?
- Yes, I am.

- I'm really sorry.
Traffic was abominable.
- We'd better get goin'.

- Let me take this bag.
- No, I got it.

- Ma'am, it's a very heavy bag--
- I have it. Get in the car.

You know,
I got an appointment in New York.

We'll maybe you oughta get in the car
and we'll get there faster.

Sure.

"The Feud in the Nude"?

He's sports entrepreneur

Knicks' coach John Bailey didn't

we'll get along fine, okay?

As long as he lets me coach
my team my way, my style.

Yeah, right.

Well, we'll see, because live with us

Bill, congratulations. But how do you
expect to turn around this ball club?

[ On Phone ] Well, Chris, you're gonna
see more entertainment...

you're gonna see better marketing,

Steve from Hartford, you're live with us

- [ Tires Screeching ]
- [ Horns Honking ]

[ Eddie ] I'm tellin' you, Wild Bill,
these guys are really good.

They have the potential
to be a fabulous team,
but they don't have any leadership.

No, you know what it is--
the Russians only care about shooting.

That's why Ivan doesn't know
anything about defense.

But you got a couple of rookies
who are pretty good...

and then you got Patton,
who's a fabulous player
but knows he's a fabulous player.

He has no assists because
he won't pass the ball.

- You've inherited a mess.
Is there anything else I can tell you?
- Yes, a lot more.

But I'm afraid I don't have the time.
Thanks for the advice.

- Let me give you a little somethin'.
- Oh, no, really--

Come on. I've always heard New Yorkers
weren't kind people.

- You've been very kind.
- Gee, Ben looks good.

It's been so long since I've seen him.
Thank you.

[ Marv Albert ]
We'll see whether the Knicks...

at home tonight with new owner
Bill Burgess attending his first game...

can beat the Los Angeles Lakers...

who are on a six-game
winning streak.

- What about Van Exel?
- Play him tight.

- But Vlade's the problem.
Always has been.
- No, no, no, no.

You double up on Van Exel...

and play Vlade with Ivan, or "Ee-van"
or whatever, tight, man-to-man--

Oh, uh, Coach Bailey, I wonder
if I could have a moment, sir.

- Well, of course you can.
It's your team now.
- No, sir, it's our team.

Listen, I was watchin'
the game on TV last night.

Our boys are movin' awful slow,
don't you think?

Why don't you fire 'em up a bit?
Give the folks a good show.

Hmm?

- Look, um, Mr. Burgess--
- Oh, Bill, Bill.
You can call me Bill.

Mr. Burgess, I am the head coach
of the New York Knicks.

You need to start paying attention

or you're gonna be watching him

- Okay?
- Okay.

I understand.

All right.

Let's get something straight: I am not

Price of showmanship, Mr. Bailey.

it was my team.

another stunt like that, I'm walkin'.

How much does Stacy Patton's ass make
per game, if you please?

Uh, $43,000

Forty-three thousand dollars?

[ Burgess ] Anybody else's ass

I'm glad we all agree, gentlemen

Coach Zimmer's gonna take care
of the basketball

That little lady's just gonna

scene, make the folks happy

Now, you give me
some focus, huh?

You give me a victory
Win one for the Gipper

Okay? Get back in there
Come on

Forty-three thousand dollars?

- That's a lot of money
- They pay him a dollar a shot?

- Who's the Gipper?
- Damn, you're stupid

Hi, Eddie!
How are ya?

- Am I Honorary Coach again?
- Well, sort of Here she is, folks!

- [ Cheering Continues ]
- [ Claudine ] Oh, my God!

Now, I'm afraid I have
another announcement for you

John Bailey has resigned
as head coach

- [ Fans Gasping, Murmuring ]
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

[ Laughing ] Yeah!

So let me introduce you to our head
coach for tonight-- Miss Eddie Franklin

Aaaaaah!

- Aaaaaah!
- Yes!

This is the greatest thing
that's ever happened to me,
and it didn't even happen to me

There's nothin' in the rule book

- You wanna file a protest, be my guest
- You're damn right I will!

They're all yours, Coach

Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Ha-ha-ha!

Hi! The Knicks Look at you
You're the real--

You know, I've been a fan for--
I've seen a million games

I've been watching you
since college I've been
watching you since high school

My dad was a Knicks fan

My husband, who I met right up there
wearing your jersey

even when he was in the hospital all he
wanted to do was watch the Knicks game

- I can't believe that you guys
are here! I can't stand it!
- [ Horn Blows ]

- Whoo!
- [ Marv Albert ]
Well, history is being made tonight

- here at Madison Square Garden
- Okay, that's--

- where Miss Eddie Franklin
- We're playin' now!

- is taking over for Coach John Bailey
- Zim! What's up, buddy?

- Now, I've seen surprises
in the world of sports
- Kickin' booty! Let's go!

- but never have I seen
the likes of this
- Come on, man!

A fan coming out of the stands
to take the reins

of an N B A team

What an amazing development!

Pick, Bobby, pick!
Switch! Switch!

[ Fans Groaning ]

- What the hell was that?
- Don't tell me, tell him

Maybe a little louder
next time

- Hey, man, that your mama?
- No, man, that's the coach

[ Players Chattering ]

Hey, hey!
Mouse in the house!

I got a little one! Here we go!
Here we go! Whoo! Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah! Oh, no!
Here we go!

Come on, baby,
you got the right idea

What's the matter, Coach?
Cat got your tongue?

To think I used to like him

You got him, you got him!
"D" him up, baby! Take it low!

Stace, Stace!
I'm open, baby!

Here we go!
Let's roll, let's roll!

Come on, man!
Are you ever gonna give it up?

It was a good shot, man!

Come on, bust out!
Bust it out! Let's go!

Pick up your man!

Defense!

- Defense! Defense!
- [ Fans Responding ] Defense! Defense!

[ Eddie, Fans Continue Chanting ]
Defense! Defense!

- Defense! Defense!
- [ Fans Responding ] Defense!

Another loss seems imminent
for the struggling New York Knicks

who don't seem to listen to
their replacement coach

any more than their
former coach John Bailey

Stacy, what are your thoughts
on the game tonight?

Stacy Patton don't do interviews

[ Players Murmuring ]

It just didn't seem like the team
was playing as a cohesive unit

Was there just lack of focus?

You got a guy takin' 38 shots and
makin' eight? No wonder the coach quit

And we got a Rasta runnin' along
the sidelines acting like a coach now

- It's a circus
- Howdy, folks

- [ Burgess ] I brought you
a little present
- Eddie Eddie

- Eddie, I'm from People Magazine
- [ Reporters Chattering ]

What is your previous
coaching experience?

[ Reporters Shouting
Questions Simultaneously ]

- Sir, can I have a word with you?
- Certainly, Mr Zimmer

- Excuse me, please
- Uh, yeah

- This is it?
- That's every coach that's available

It's an awful short list What is this,
their social security numbers?

- Uh, no, that's how much
they each made last year
- Mmm Thanks

- It must've been great
to be at the helm
- What's next for you now?

- How does it feel to be a woman?
- Good!

How did you like
your performance tonight?

- All right, boys
Leave the little lady alone
- [ Talking Continues ]

She's kinda shy

- [ Talking Continues ]
- Wild Bill, how are you gonna
turn this team around?

The Knicks need a coach now!

Are you gonna hire
a college coach, Wild Bill?

Quit-- Quit pushin'
and scratchin'

[ Reporters Quiet ]

Like we say back home, no amount
of plannin' can replace dumb luck

I just got me the biggest piece of luck
I ever had: I found my new coach

- Well, who is he?
- What's his name?
- Eddie

- Say what?
- Eddie who?

- [ Eddie ] I can't do this
- [ Bill] Yes, you can

I cannot take a real
N B A team on the road!

- Do the guys know what you're--
Does the N B A know what--
- Can I ask you somethin'?

Do you still think
the Knicks can win?

- Yes, I do, but I think
they deserve a real coach
- That's what you are, Eddie

In your heart,
you are a coach

Why else would I be paying you
$50,000 to finish the season?

So I want you to get on that plane,
start takin' names

and kickin' butt

Go ahead

- [ Mutters ] Yeah
- I believe in you, Eddie

I believe you need the Knicks,
and I believe the Knicks need you

[ Players Talking ]

[ Talking Stops ]

Hi

Listen, guys, I just wanted to say
how really excited I am about this

This is the biggest thing
that's ever happened to me
I don't know what to say

It's so exciting

I'm lookin' at you guys, and I see,
you know, there's a great team here

There's a really great team
I just don't understand
why you're in last place

I mean, you, Mr Patton

I mean, if you could just
manage to pass the ball more

then we'd feel like
a more cohesive team

I think you have to look at it
as you're part of a whole, you know

And you, Preacher, you know,
I've seen you shoot from the outside

You gotta go for it more, shoot from
the perimeter You have the capability

That's my opinion, anyway

And Mr Duncan, you know you could lead
the league in rebounds

if you'd just get
that foul shot together

Frankly, it's really foul

That's a little basketball humor there
[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Hey, Mr Hastings

You're terrific
You're really a terrific player

I just wish you could get your head
more in the game

No offense

Hey, Nate What can I say about you?
You're just the greatest there ever was

You know, you're just great
[ Chuckles ]

I wish we could clone you,
then your clones could teach
these guys what I'm talkin' about

Hey, Zim

Hey, how you doin'?

Hey, Ivan--

Ivan

Ivan [ Chuckles ]

Do you know what the word
"defense" means?

Ivan make basket

Cool
[ Chuckles ]

- We'll work on defense
- Defense

- Okay, cool
- Defense

You know, I just wanna say

that when we get
to where we're going

we're just gonna kick butt

We're gonna kick butt

We're on an away game It's breather
time now We're travelling

God knows we can do this

Don't you think so?

Yeah! Yeah

I don't get it, man
Is she the Gipper or not?

- Damn, you sure are white
- I can't help it

Ladies, my room is right here

I'll get to show you those
championship rings I told you about

- [ Murmuring, Talking ]
- Let's get it goin' now

[ Talking Continues, Faint ]

Hey, Ivan, remember what I said,
all right? P-H-A-T

Phat

See how the superstar on a two-on-one
fast break goes for the dunk

You saw my moves
out on the court

Come inside and check out
the rest of 'em

I don't know if we should go
in your rooms

Yo, baby, you phat

Oh, you're an animal

- Phat
- You the man

[ Yelling ]

"Separation and divorce"?

Come on, man
I don't need these, man

I been married
too long for this, man

[ Nate ] Hey, yo,
how phat was she, Ivan?

[Ivan ] Phat!

I got 50 bucks on this one

Look, I'm gettin' tired

Can we hurry this up?

[ Snoring ]

- I thought this was supposed
to be a practice
- This is a practice

- So how come nobody's practicing?
- Well

Jamal's shooting an album cover

Hastings is over there
with his divorce lawyer

- Stacy Patton's, uh--
- Asleep

- Asleep, yeah
- Does he sleep through every practice?

- No, just on game day
- Ah

No wonder it takes him
an average of four minutes
before he can get his first shot off

- So what are we gonna do about it?
- "We"? Leave me out of it, Coach

[ Chuckles ]
These kids are stars

They do what they wanna do

I got a mortgage and two kids
in college I don't rock the boat

The only boat that doesn't rock
is one that's not going anywhere

Hey, you're the head coach

You wanna get these
million-dollar egos to practice
their jump shots, be my guest

Okay

[ Blows Whistle ]
Ouch [ Chuckles ]

Come on, quit foolin' around
and shoot from game situations, will ya?

I'll show you a game situation

- Look, "T," ball!
- All right You go, man!

- That'll be four points from there!
- Dribbles to the basket!

He shoots!

- Oh!
- He scores! Yeah!

- Yes!
- Oh, so now you clownin' me, huh?

- This is my game situation
- I see How are the knees?

- They're old I'm old, Eddie
- You're not that old

In N B A years, I'm 138

- Really?
- 138

How old's that make you in doggie years?
Come on, let's go

- All right, you got it
- Let's go, ladies Come on

[ Crowd Cheering ]

- [ Players Chattering ]
- [ Eddie ] Pass the ball!

- Pass the ball!
- [ Patton Grunts ]

Come on, get your head
in the game!

Let's go!

This is just a publicity stunt for you!
You are not a coach!

You not a player, lookin' like
a little roach!

- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
- Switch it!

- [ Eddie ] Yeah!
- [ Fans Booing ]

Was that your mistake, Mr Rodman?
I think so

Your team doesn't know
how to play

- Bad shots, bad coach--
- Bad hair

At least I look good

For the moment

Get your earrings, baby
You look naked

Ball up!

[ Eddie ] Come on! Heads up!
Come on, let's go!

[ Whistle Blows ]

[ Player ]
Match up, match up, match up!

Mr Patton, I need you to double-team
the short guy, the cricket-looking one

If you wanna talk to Stacy Patton,
call his agent

- Match up! Match up!
- [ Buzzer Sounds ]

Next time they come,
they'd better bring a coach!

They play just as bad
with a coach!

See?
See what I told you?

You guys, if you'd listened
to me, you would not have gotten
slaughtered by the Spurs

You don't wanna practice,
you don't wanna hustle,
you don't wanna do anything

[ Players Murmuring ]

- What, did that shrink up in the water?
- [ Murmuring Continues ]

I thought it was gonna be
so much bigger It's like this--

- It looks like he got
a pimple on his thigh
- What's she talkin' about?

And the Knicks broke
an all-time record last night

They lost their 19th straight game

This whole thing
is getting ridiculous

- So what's the hard hat take
on Eddie Franklin?
- It's a joke, an embarrassment

It's a woman coach I'm just gonna give
my tickets to the wife

- So the gender is inappropriate?
- I got your gender right here
Know what I'm talkin' about?

Mr Mayor, the new coach of the Knicks
is a woman Your reaction?

It's a real breakthrough
for equal rights

She'll bring something
very special to it

- Do you think she can get
the team out of the basement?
- She can't do any worse

The Knicks were winning
when I was mayor

- You're a very photogenic young woman
- Well, thank you, Bill

And I tell you what, no matter--
I'm not gonna let you quit

- Why not? I'm not doing anything
better than Bailey did
- Oh, nonsense

Advanced ticket sales
are up 30 percent

- And you know what?
The fans love you, Eddie
- But the newspapers hate me

So what?
It's free publicity

What are you talking about?
We're losing

Eddie, listen, the Knicks did not
get into this mess overnight

and they're not gonna
get out of it overnight

I have every confidence
that you can do it

- I just don't have the same confidence
- Let me tell you something

I grew up in a one-horse town
in Texas

My folks were too poor to paint
and too proud to whitewash

If I can do it, Eddie, you can do it
Look where I got

It's like we say back home:

"He that would have the fruit
must climb the tree "

So I'm gonna ask you a question,
little lady: you gonna let me down?

No, I'm not gonna let you down Maybe
with the home court advantage it'll--

Ah, that's my girl That's what I like
to hear Come on, I'll walk you out

Oh, yeah?
Come on, man!

- Okay, now-- Hey! Don't run!
- Go, Knicks!

Hey, hey, watch it!

Hey, hey, calm down,
calm down, calm down

- Thank you I got it
You guys look good
- Thanks

Listen, the players are gettin' ready
to go out They're concentrating

so I'm gonna take you and show you
my office, and that'll be that, okay?

All right, I want you
to be like gentlemen

- We're gonna go in like
we have some class, okay?
- Okay

[ Murmuring, Talking ]

- No problem Oh, my pen
- Here you go

- Hey, Mr Duncan,

- Not now, kids

I thought this was
a professional basketball team

Obviously I'm out of my mind

I'm in here with rap artists
and pitch men

line-slingers and "ho" mongers
and assholes

Eddie, please!

No Knicks, please, Preacher

You remember that people pay
to come and see you guys?

People spend $2,000 on season tickets
up in the nosebleed sections

because they think
you guys are worthwhile

And forget about the little kids
who actually think you guys
are heroes Stupid them!

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Preacher ] Two-thousand dollars
for some season tickets?

That'll make you think

Yeah Homegirl has some shitty seats

[ Fans Booing, Cheering ]

- What are you doin'?
- Come on, Terry!

- Just pass me the ball!
- Get back! Get back!

[ Marv Albert ] I can't recall any
Knick team that has played this poorly

You wonder, is there any hope
on the horizon?

- Boo
- Ooh!

[ Laughs ] You almost got
my karate move

- I've been waiting for you
- Yeah?

- Yeah
- What you need?

- I need to ask you an honest question
- Okay

Was that my loss?

Yeah, there's an old saying:
players win, coaches lose

I know, but seven in a row
It's not like I'm not trying

I've tried talking I've tried being
nice I don't know what else to do

Well, look, Eddie,
we're in a slump right now

I know, but you guys are professionals
You're not supposed to have slumps

We're not supposed to have slumps? Look,
I know these kids make a lot of money

And I know they're not supposed
to be human, but they are

They have problems
like everybody else

But just because they can put the ball
in the hoop, no one cares

Do you care that Hastings' life
is falling apart?

Do you care that Ivan
can't speak the language?

Well, if you don't care
they're just gonna keep on
doing it just to spite you

You gotta understand
something, Eddie

That was Bailey's problem,
and it's yours too

I'll see you tomorrow
in practice, Coach

Thanks

you took a pretty good hit too

Do you still love her?

Well, see, we're gettin'
a divorce, so--

Yeah, but do you love her?

- Shake your head,
'cause you know it's "yes "
- Yeah

So, what happened?

What happened was, I had this thing
on the road in Phoenix last year

I, um, I cheated, and, uh--

See, that's all she thinks I do
on the road now is run around

Well, yeah
I know you understand that

The woman thinks
you don't love her

The first thing you really need to do
is apologize

and keep apologizing every day

Apologize, apologize, apologize

until she says to you,
"Stop apologizing "

And then you have to start apologizing
for your apologies

- That's begging
- Yeah

Begging That has a nice ring
to it, doesn't it?

Begging

Then you gotta
send her some flowers

Okay, so I send flowers,
and then she'll forgive me

Hell, no, she's not gonna forgive you

[ Crowd Booing, Shouting ]

[ Booing Continues ]

- [ Whispering ]
What's she talking about?
- [ Booing Continues ]

Shall I have security remove her?

[ Booing, Shouting Continues ]

You're not gonna
move the Knicks!

You go to St Louis!
The Knicks stay here!

[ Eddie On P A ]
You hear that sound, Bill?

- [ Crowd Quiets ]
- That's the sound of the fans

You might've bought the team, but you
didn't buy these people, these fans

'cause they have a sign on 'em
that you don't understand, Bill

It says: "Not for sale "

- [ Woman ] Go, girl!
- No sale, cowboy!

- [ Shouting ]
- [ Eddie On P A ] And the bottom line?

- No fans, no fun
- [ Woman ] Jerk!

No fun, no business

We didn't bail when times
were hard, we're sure not gonna
bail now that times are good

- 'Cause we're not letting you
take the team like this, Bill
- [ Woman ] Tell 'im, girl!

You're gonna have to haul my ass
off this court, 'cause I'm not moving

Coach, she's gonna
cost us the game

Exactly

[ Scattered Hoots, Shouts ]

Oh, my God
Come on

[ Crowd Murmuring ]

I didn't see my boy become a Knick
to have you pack him off to St Louis!

[ Woman ] Come on! Go!

- [ Woman Shouting ]
- [ Crowd Applauding ]

- Go back to Texas, chump
- Yeah!

- You going to do anything about this?
- Damn right

Come with me

Coach

if this floor's not cleared
in two minutes

Knicks forfeit this ball game

Forfeit? They think we came this way
to forfeit? We forfeit nothin'

So, what you gonna do, man?

May I have that, please?

Well, folks

I don't know what gave
this little lady the idea

that I would ever, ever take
this team out of New York City

Seems to me I'm gonna profit
a whole lot more if I stay

[ Crowd Cheering ]

Wait, wait
He's kidding, really

I'm sure he'll--
Any of you gentlemen into hockey at all?

Now

if I may say so

New York City Knickerbockers

so we can win this game!

from the Wild Bill show
