Following Thursday’s summer league practice in Orlando, FL, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek gave some insight into what the team plans to preserve from the triangle offense, if anything. Additionally, Hornacek spoke about the general focus of the coaching staff, his mindsight on player personnel, and inevitably, his thoughts on the departure firing of team president Phil Jackson.
When asked about Jackson, Hornacek kept it classy, succinct, and diplomatic.
As reported by ESPN’s Ian Begley, Hornacek also indicated that while the team plans to keep some elements of the triangle offense utilized in the 2016-2017 season, Hornacek emphasized that the focus throughout summer league and pre-season will be defense.
