Reports: Knicks Interview Jeff Hornacek For Head Coaching Job
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- After weeks of silence, the Knicks are finally making some noise in their coaching search.
According to multiple reports, team president Phil Jackson has met with former Phoenix Suns coach Jeff Hornacek, bringing the number of known candidates to four.
Jackson has been considering promoting interim coach Kurt Rambis, and he also has reportedly met with former Cavaliers coach David Blatt and ex-Pacers coach Frank Vogel.
A former All-Star guard with the Suns, Hornacek, 53, returned to his old team in 2013 as coach and went 101-112 and 2½ seasons there. He, however, never reached the playoffs, and his won-loss percentage declined each season. The Suns fired Hornacek in February.
Despite Hornacek's struggles, the Knicks aren't the only team interested in his services. The Rockets have reportedly interviewed him, and the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies are also interested.
If Hornacek doesn't land a head coaching job, he is a strong candidate to replace Luke Walton as Steve Kerr's top assistant with the Golden State Warriors, ESPN reported.
