Gary Radnich's BackAssward View on Becky Hammon He Took on KNBR--On KRON; At Least Darya Called Him Out

The morning he made it clear on his KNBR show he didn't think Becky Hammon should coach in the NBA for reasons that went out in the green stamps era, Gary Radnich said the same stupid stuff hours earlier on his "Gary's World" gig on KRON.


Darya Folsom, of all people, challenges him; (as best as Darya can do), we'll give her credit over the female yahoo at KNBR who choose to back down and do her best Marcia Brady.


The KRON charade on the video begins at 5: 20 and pretty much exposes Radnich for the old boot he is. And please, just listen to the patronizing shit, the old-fashioned crap you'd expect to hear from the hardware store clerk in Iowa--but realize this is a Bay Area broadcaster who has that backassward mentality.


Look, Radnich is entitled to his opinion. We don't have to beat him up because he does that quite admirably himself here. I'm just curious as to why some fairly prominent women sports journalists are silent on the matter. Maybe they don't want to rock the boat and take on a popular SF sports media figure. How sad, how hypocritical, we could go on and on but we'll leave it like it is and ponder the consequences.

Gary Radnich Just Said on KNBR That New Spurs Coach Becky Hammon 'Can't Relate' To NBA Guys; UPDATE: KNBR Omits 9 AM Hour/Radnich's Words

 Gary Radnich just stuck his foot in his mouth.

Radnich essentially said that Becky Hammon, the woman coach just hired by the San Antonio Spurs wasn't worthy of the job.


I'm paraphrasing, but Radnich basically said that women coaches; no matter how revered; no matter how much respected like Hammon, for example, can't relate, (Raddy's words), to present day, modern-era athletes. They can't coach men. Also Radnich's words.


Keep in mind that Hammon was hired by Spurs coach, Gregg Popovich, hardly a guy who's been accused of creating PR stunts. Popovich knows what he's doing--he just won his fifth NBA Championship-- and was very high on Hammon's work tenure.

Radnich is entitled to his misogynist opinion. He's pretty backward in this area. Too bad his KNBR colleagues didn't call him out. Well, they tried to; a little late to the party anyway.


When Radnich strays off into areas beyond the toy department and delves into deep social thought and process he tends to come off as an old, white-male boot. I won't say what I truly believe Radnich was saying because he didn't say it, but he might as well have.


It's a black and white issue if you know what I mean and I'm sure you do.






UPDATE: 12: 07 PM PT: KNBR traditionally places interviews and content on its podcast pages--it has curiously OMITTED the 9 AM hour of its "Gary and Larry" Show.


We're not surprised. But we're not stopping either. Perhaps KNBR will have a change of heart, gees I wonder why this hour was omitted --Oh, never mind.
