That was FAST!!!!, i guess it is better to give the other coach time to properly work with the team.......
Mills and Perry were in CLE. They had their minds made up delivering him the message personally when he was on the road. Foregone conclusion them dumping Hornacek, not sure Mark Jax is the same foregone conclusion to be the new Knicks coach. It'll be Perry's decision not Mills and I don't believe MJ was in his circle of friends. Should be interesting who the new coach will be but I mentioned Jay Wright of Villanova as a guy they should talk to.

Not sorry Horn is gone; I?m also hearing David Fizdale which makes sense if he and Perry were together in CLE. I hope that means Rambis is gone as well because I?m to sick of seeing him. The stench of Pjax is lifting...
They let Rambis go along with Hornacek, no word on the other assistants so the new coach will probably have the last word on them.
Looks like Perry has had relationships with Kidd, Jerry Stackhouse and Adrian Griffin among the candidates I saw mentioned but not Fizdale.

The Magic are a complete mess. I bet it takes a while for them to fill this vacancy
Daily News are reporting Knicks are interested in Jay Wright of Villanova for the same reason I said that he would be a good fit for a young developing team. It's a long shot, he's making 2.4M as the Villanova coach, Knicks would have to pay him a kings ransom to leave Villanova for the uncertainty of the Knicks.

You have, more than once and I've mentioned emulating what Ainge did in hiring Stevens(COY?). I think the numbskulls are listening
The clueless Knicks coaching-staff are FIRED !!!
We may be a year late on the FIRING of Horn and Rambis after the 31 win season in 2016-17 ....
I complained all season bout our poor-poor clueless coaching-staff !!!

Timmy not far off here... what coach can succeed with Dolan?s insane media policies and the stench of the strict paranoia cloud that looms large over Knicks, coinciding with the maniacal self-preservation mode front office peeps, like Mills, who probably undermine the HC?s authority/vision/standing every step of the way.
Horn was ok... decent but nothing special. Still, we could do worse... The roster is the reason for the losing lately.... And, how many coaches will come and go while Mills sits upstairs?
Anyway, it was obvious the moment PJax was canned that Horn was a dead man walking. Phil fired Woodson, and Mike accomplished more than Horn.
I think Jay Wright would be great. We could draft Bridges and boom. Just like the Brad Stephens hire.
I think Blatt could be a fallback, along with Fizdale and MJax.
I wonder if Pitino will be a target? I hope not.

Uh oh...
NY Daily News:
Knicks intrigued about Craig Robinson.
?Robinson is another longshot Knicks candidate, according to a team source. The former Oregon State head coach ? and brother of former First Lady Michelle Obama ? currently serves as the Knicks? VP of player and organization development.?

One of the many big mistakes of Hornacek were making a inconsistent scorer Tim Hardaway Jr a 30 minute starter!
Tim Hardaway Jr are best compared to NO-Defense Jamal Crawful = 20 minute bench player!
The Dolan Knicks were a fool for signing Tim Hardaway Jr !!!

No way if I am Jay Wright am even entertaining taking the worst job in the NBA. Villanova is a blue blood NCAA program. 2 titles in 3 years, not under NCAA/FBI investigation, and Villinova recruits actually stay 3-4 years, not 1 done. Jay Wright can coach Villinova until he retires.
I thought Coach Bud was safe in ATL since they stripped him of all their players. My guess is it's his decision to move on, with the Suns further ahead in the rebuilding process than the Hawks, he also relinquished the President title last year.
I'd look at anyone from the Spurs and Pops coaching tree.
