Knicks’ Jeff Hornacek doesn’t appreciate Derek Fisher’s comments about his job performance

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jeff Hornacek didn’t appreciate Derek Fisher evaluating his job performance and said he would never do that to another coach.

Fisher, the former Knicks coach, said in an interview with Bleacher Report published on Monday that he had the Knicks further along with less talent last year than they are this year with more. Hornacek said it’s against coaching protocol to criticize others within the profession.

“Well, I wouldn’t do it,” Hornacek said. “I don’t think a lot of other guys would do it. But certain guys will.”

Fisher talked about a number of things, including the difficulty and challenges of working under Knicks president Phil Jackson.
