Jeff Hornacek has had a roller coaster of a season in his first go-around as the New York Knicks head coach.
Jeff Hornacek was hired as the New York Knicks head coach on the second of June, 2016. He is the third coach that the franchise has had in the last two seasons. The eight months since his hiring has been a complete roller coaster ride.The season started off with such excitement and promise. A revamp of the roster saw the addition of veterans like Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings. Despite dealing with legal issues and injuries, the Knicks were able to jump out to a 14-10 record and we’re in third place in the Eastern Conference.
Since then, they have completely gone off of the rails with a record of 7-19. Their 22-29 record is now good for eleventh in the conference.
