Readers sound off on James Dolan, candidate proposals and open records reform
Brooklyn: The New York Knicks fired their coach, Tom Thibodeau, last week. The basketball world and most fans were surprised — some thought it was a joke. In five years Thibodeau had a regular season record of 226-174. In the five years before Thibodeau, all Knicks coaches combined had a record of 147-329. Nowhere in any of the stories did we see that statistic or hear about it from the Knicks front office. It wasn't the coach who traded the five draft picks for Karl Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges; it was the front office. These two couldn't keep themselves on the court for a full season, yet the Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference finals, beating the defending champ Boston Celtics along the way. The real issue, in my opinion, is owner James Dolan. He's clueless. Just look at what he did with the Rangers a few years ago. He fired both the general manager and head coach, and look what happened. It took two years, but they went from winning the President's Cup for best regular season record to not making the playoffs. Dolan's answer: Fire the coach of two years. All Madison Square Garden had left was the Knicks, and now we might not even have that anymore. Leave it to Dolan to ruin a good thing. The Knicks were the last good thing about the Garden, and now we wait to see if the joke will be on Dolan. John De Angelo Manalapan, N.J.: Under the new agreement with China, the people of the U.S. will have to pay a 55% tax to import goods from China while the people of China will pay only a 10% tax to buy U.S. goods. Looks like 'The Art of the Deal' was written in Mandarin. Joe Fontanelli Garden City, L.I.: Is it going to take another Kent State before someone can put a leash on this vicious, vindictive man-child in the White House? Hundreds of armed, unnecessary military and peaceful demonstrators. It's only a matter of time. Paul Falabella Milford, Pa.: It's amazing that President Trump calls in the National Guard and the U.S. Marines for a demonstration in L.A. but not for an attempted coup on Jan. 6. Can anyone explain that? Robert K. Greco Briarwood: Welcome to fascist America! U.S. Marines, trained to kill foreign enemies in war, are stationed on the streets of Los Angeles, ostensibly in response to an 'insurrection' of 'animals,' per Trump's words; military parades in honor of Trump's birthday, which are vaguely reminiscent of Hitler's and Mussolini's public antics; unconstitutional orders that usurp the powers of Congress proliferate; genocidal war sponsored by Trump against the Palestinians for Trump's Riviera in Gaza plan; essential social services for the poor, the sick and seniors abolished as oligarchs get tax benefits in Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill.' Insurrection? Trump is delusional. The only insurrection would be one fought by the likes of the late Dr. Ernesto 'Che' Guevara of the Cuban Revolution. One-hundred years of American imperialism in Latin America caused poverty and the migrant influx into America, and now there's forcible racist deportation of primarily Hispanic Catholic migrants and legal immigrants by Trump. Joseph N. Manago East Meadow, L.I.: Who will Trump's special guest be at his birthday parade? Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, or will the Elon Musk bromance make up in time? Maybe Trump can arrange a pay-per-view vote show to collect royalties. Jeff Tuck Brooklyn: To Voicer Joe Schulok: Yes, I do suffer from TDS, the same way you are under the Jim Jones spell. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and watching Fox News. I see no need to defend my comments because just about everything you said in your letter is a lying talking point from your cult leader. Stay in your cocoon and I'll stay in mine. June Lowe Bronxville, N.Y.: Tough guy Andrew Cuomo is guaranteeing to fight Trump. Perhaps he should see if he can get Trump to help with the issues of the day. Cuomo's act is old, and he should remember why he resigned. This narcissist's thirst for power needs to end. Peter Cooper Manhattan: Has anyone at the Daily News spent any time looking into the proposals advanced by the NYC mayoral candidates? Take Zohran Mamdani's proposal for free buses, one of his signature ideas. If you go to his website's link to an article in The Nation, there is not one reference to an analysis of what this would cost or what equipment, personnel, etc. it would take to implement. Clearly, free buses would attract more passengers and create overcrowding, which would precipitate the purchase of more buses, hiring drivers and mechanics, etc. — not accomplished overnight. This sounds like something Bill de Blasio thought up, but I'd be interested to learn what the Daily News is able to find out. Democracy is at its best when voters are informed, so I am asking The News to help us out. David Moretti Yonkers: To Voicer Lisa Flanzraich, who criticized Zohran Mamdani on Medicare Advantage: I looked at Mamdani's website, given his endorsement by AOC. In it, he is against Medicare Advantage plans, wants to retain traditional Medicare for retirees and wants to eliminate co-pays for active employees and non-Medicare retirees. I endorse his platform. Thomas Schechter Brooklyn: Sadly, a 2-year-old little boy is no longer alive. Why, people ask, was it necessary to kill this innocent child? It was done to hurt those who loved and cared for him. Split custody was what helped cause this baby's death. It does not happen all the time. I know of a young couple who, even though they are no longer together, love their child. You can see it when they come and drop off and pick up their child. What should have happened did not. As for split/joint custody, it could be a great thing. For this boy, it is no longer an option. How about coming up with a law in his name about custody? The situation should have been taken more seriously. In this little angel's name, let us help make a change. In memory of Montrell Williams, I implore lawmakers to make a strong law. Sharon Cesario Hyde Park, N.Y.: Just like Voicer Enrico Mango, I too am 'incredulous.' But that's where our similarities end. I am consistently amazed that Catholics, and in this case a Catholic physician, just can't wrap their minds around the fact that there are actually (a lot of!) people out there who don't give a damn about their church and personal beliefs. I've been an atheist for more than 40 years. I believe that assisted suicide is an idea that has taken too long to come into law. I'm sure in his 40 years of practicing medicine, Mango has come across at least a few people who could've benefited greatly from not dying a slow, agonizing death. I sure don't want to go that way! And as far as anybody needing 'forgiveness for this heinous act,' I feel the exact opposite. Jack Cregan Manhattan: The Daily News is right, Albany must reform the Freedom of Information Law ('Public access to public records,' editorial, June 11). But don't forget about NYC, where the public can wait months (or years!) for city agencies to provide records they requested. About 15% of FOIL requests submitted in 2024 are still open. Despite improvements with the OpenRecords Portal a decade ago, city agencies are not keeping up with requests, and in some cases not using the portal at all. I've been into government transparency for a long time. As a City Council staffer in the 1980s, I typed lists of government contacts and gave them out to people. As a City Council member in 2012, I passed NYC's first open data law to mandate that all public data be made available online. And in April, I introduced legislation to overhaul the city's FOIL process. Transparency and accountability are not optional in government. Gale A. Brewer

Legendary Chaminade lacrosse coach Jack Moran retiring after 45 years
After 45 years, this frequent flyer is finally landing. Chaminade head lacrosse coach Jack Moran announced he's stepping down from his role — 21 championships and 629 wins later. 'I'm just going to miss the banter,' Moran, 73, told The Post. 'Most of the time with the kids, I can just give a look to them … whatever we do, do it at 100 percent effort 100 percent of the time. And I'm going to miss being able to say that to those guys every single day.' After Moran announced the end of his tenure, he received '178 text messages and about 100 emails' from former players wishing their old coach well. 'I know them all,' Moran said of those he instructed since 1979. 'I probably have a story for every one of them.' It's not his final flight, however. Moran will hold an advisory role with the prestigious Catholic program, where students cut from varsity teams are often still recruited for college. His focus will be on player development and team depth with enthusiastic second- and third-stringers as 'sulkers find out by sophomore year they aren't in the right sport.' Chaminade head lacrosse coach Jack Moran announced he's stepping down from his role — 21 championships and 629 wins later. Courtesy of Chaminade High School 'I'm not going to make every road trip. I'm going to spend time watching my grandkids play on the weekends, but I'll probably be at the Delbarton game,' he said of the New York-New Jersey rivalry. Assistant coach Gregory Kay, the school's chief academic officer and 1998 grad, will fill the coach's huge shoes next spring. Moran, whose Flyers last won it all in 2018, ended his career on a championship loss to the school's respected archrival, the St. Anthony's Friars, by a score of 16-12 last month. 'In fact, I was happy it was St. Anthony's,' Moran said. 'Because from going out, that's a team I want to go out with.' Jack Moran poses for a picture with some of his Chaminade players earlier in the season. Heather Khalifa for New YorK Post Semis are Place to be for Carle Place These Frogs don't want to croak in the big game. Carle Place's softball team is heading to the state semifinals and could bring home the Nassau County town's first state title in the sport. The 19-5 LI champions face 20-3 Chatham in the semifinals Friday night. 'We don't know anything about them, we're going in blind,' said sophomore third basemen Alexa Mifsud. Nevertheless, the squad is keeping cool and calm. Junior Isabella DeGroot, a first baseman who also pitches and plays the outfield, recalled pregame jitters of playing Cold Spring Harbor in the first round of the Nassau County games. They conquered CSP 18-0 and then 20-0 in the best-of-three series, and the Frogs used the moment to know the team can hang with the best of any competition thrown their way. 'We're going to have to be ready for all different kinds of pitches now — and we've done a lot of hitting drills for that,' DeGroot added. The USA Patriots amputee softball team, better known as the National Wounded Warrior squad, is traveling to Long Island to take on two local teams, the LI Senior All-Stars and LI All-Stars, at noon and 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Moriches Athletic Complex. Admission is free.

Red Sox-Yankees game gets delayed by chicken bucket that fell from stands
The post Red Sox-Yankees game gets delayed by chicken bucket that fell from stands appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Boston Red Sox picked up a much-needed 10-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night, giving them an opportunity to win the series on Sunday. Along the way, though, the game was delayed for a very odd reason, and it led to a slew of reactions flying in on social media from fans who were baffled by what they had just seen. Advertisement In the bottom of the eighth inning, New York was attempting to rally from the 8-5 deficit they found themselves in. The game ended up having to be paused briefly, though, because a fan dropped a bucket of chicken on the field, leading the grounds crew to make a quick clean up. Soon after that, DJ LeMahieu hit a two-run single that cut the deficit to 8-7, giving the Yankees a shot to come out on top. 'We had a brief chicken bucket delay. One fell onto the right-field warning track. That led to a 2-run single by DJ LeMahieu, cutting Boston's lead to 8-7,' Chris Kirschner of The Athletic shared in a post on X. Reactions to strange Red Sox-Yankees delay come flying in Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Boston would respond by scoring a pair of runs in the top of the ninth inning to ice this game away, but the chicken bucket incident had already made its mark. After seeing the unique delay, fans began chiming in on social media about the incident, leading to some hilarious comments along the way. Advertisement @JoezMcfly on X credited the chicken bucket for New York's late rally, labeling the incident 'The chicken bucket summoned rally.' @YankeesNerds seemed to believe that the move was intentional, claiming, 'That fan sacrificed his chicken bucket for a DJ hit!' @yankeedoug27 humorously said, 'SPLIT CHICKEN BUCKET comes through!!' At the end of the day, the chicken bucket rally fell short, but just when you think you've seen it all, something new happens in the world of baseball that has never been seen before. Now, the Red Sox and Yankees will square off in the rubber match of this three-game series, with first pitch scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET on Sunday night.
