The Knicks players had long since left the court Monday in Tarrytown. Coach Jeff Hornacek discussed topics ranging from his former coach Jerry Sloan, ex-Knicks and Suns executive Al Bianchi, plus famed NBA fights, both verbal and physical, through the years. Hornacek was summoned for an organizational meeting.
No one provided details on what the session was about, but a good bet was Hornacek switched to conversations about Joakim Noah and the options facing the Knicks in their quest for a possible divorce from the 32-year-old veteran.
Shortly after Hornacek departed, a report from Yahoo Sports — later confirmed by a league source — surfaced that Noah and Hornacek had a nasty exchange in practice last Wednesday.
