On Wedensday we learned the details of Jeff Hornacek's three-year, $15 million contract as head coach of the New York Knicks. Friday we will get to hear Hornacek (and presumably team president Phil Jackson) speak. In between, we get the most exciting day of them all ... PRESS RELEASE DAY!
I love the smell of new head coach press releases that don't involve Kurt Rambis in the morning. Smells like ... victory.
The press release starts off welcoming Hornacek as the 28th coach in the franchise's 70-year history. To put that into perspective, when Ben McAdoo took over the New York Giants this offseason, he became the 17th coach in franchise history.
