this actually makes me happy.
I totally agree. I think he is a good coach. I would have been fine with him or Vogel.

I can see why phil would be more comfortable pseudo coaching through Hornck than vogel. Vogel has a much stronger personality and may clash and Hornck is a much much more modern offensive mind.

Kudos to phil if this is true.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

not really once he was interviewed ... the fact that they interviewed him was kind of out of left field though.

I am a big fan of his so I am really happy.

Interesting that Phil went with the most modern / PnR spread the floor coaches out of all the ones he spoke to.

That is both weird and excitingly interesting.

I literally don't know what to make of this. Dude def brought the space offense to his teams but he also had like 3 PGs on roster, so that really was his only route.

Wonder how the Triangle mixes with all of this.

maybe Phil just felt that Hornacek was the most coachable candidate and smart as hell with a modern twist?

don't get it. with our team, we would have been best with Vogel I think, or Blatt.

confusing and left field. the media will have a party with this. wonder if Vogel turned us down, or if Phil just didn't like Vogel?

Did you see the string of losses JH had as a coach to end his reign in PHX?

how about the year that his team was the most improved in the league and he almost won COY?

You try to coach M. Morris.
