Jeff Hornacek rips Derek Fisher right back: He’s angling for a job

WASHINGTON — Jeff Hornacek thinks ex-Knicks coach Derek Fisher is campaigning for another job and referred to him dismissively as “an analyst’’ in response to his recent digs.

Fisher, out of a coaching job, works for Lakers telecasts as a studio analyst. Fisher told Bleacher Report, in a piece published Monday, his 2015-16 Knicks were further along than is Hornacek’s current team — with less talent.

“There’s enough analysts and reporters who like to talk about: coulda, shoulda [in] what they did,’’ Hornacek said. “We don’t pay much attention to it.

“I think he’s also trying to push himself in a light that maybe someone else will give him a job,’’ Hornacek added after the Knicks’ morning shootaround Tuesday at Verizon Center.
