Hornacek fired from Knicks

You've gotten have some pretty thick skin to get in the coaching game. Tough job.

Well, if Knicks somehow luck into Doncic pick it may make sense to re unite him with his national team coach.

If Ntilikina develops a decent 3pt shot and tightens up his handle, that's a scarily good core. Get defensive minded center and a shooter and it's pretty well rounded.

Buuuuut it's the Knicks.
 
No thanks. There’s zero connection to Quin Snyder. Much rather make a play for Chip Engelland again. Especially since it seems there’s some disfunction in San Antonio right now.
 
I think Igor gets a job... I just hope we can keep Bryant long term. I think he's been key to our development program.

Wouldn't bring in Hornacek as an assistant... not sure guys can function well in that role once they've been a head coach.

Quin will find someone else, but we should promote within imo.
 
Wasnt Horny our shooting coach already and sucked *** at it? All of our shooters got worse under him. I think our coaching staff is great and no reason to change that right now.

I do wish Horny all the best, if he wants to keep coaching I am sure someone will give him an assistant job.

Guys function in that role all the time (Alvin Gentry, Maurice Cheeks, Brian Shaw, Phil Johnson, the list goes on forever). I don't think it's a binary thing, or that a path is unidirectional.

I'd welcome him back if Igor bounces and I think such a thing would make a ton of sense for everybody. Outside of Igor leaving, I don't think it makes sense for Jeff.

That Suns season wasn't an accident, and say what you want about LHM, the guy had an eye for finding people as he had full faith in Hornacek as a coach (and made his statements without any apparent external or ulterior motivation). Dude knows the game, maybe he's just a mediocre head coach and got dealt some ****** situations and achieved how most coaches would given the circumstances.

I also think tradition is cool (a bonus, not a primary motivator).
 
Hornacek made the suns overachieve his first year. Then they gut the roster even further then they stuck so they fire him.
Next he goes to the Knicks which is the worst head coaching job in all of professional sports.
He's a quality coach who landed the 2 worst jobs available. He should either be an assistant for a Jazz, or Spurs type team then take a desirable job when one open up.

Mike Brown and Monty Williams too... Okay I'm wrong. I'll defer to the wisdom of Quin and DL.

I think Hornacek was given a raw deal in Phoenix and walked into a nightmare scenario in NY. Force to run the triangle and in a city with high expectations and low on talent. Phoenix wasn't supposed to be good then took off. Would have like to see what he could do in Milwaukee or a situation similar.
