That's pretty much how Hornacek coaches. He will coach to the strengths of his players and make the game easier for them. There's often too much emphasis on specifics of whether Jeff will use Triangle or not. He's gonna have the tam playing basketball. The most important things for him are playing smart, fast and efficient. He knows how to accomplish that. Jeff doesn't want his players out there thinking so much that they aren't able to play fast. Not fast as in running recklessly, but at a good game speed that puts a defense on its heels and unable to recover quickly enough. That's a controlled speed. All you have to do is look at how his teams in PHX played and you get the idea. Everyone was involved and in the flow.

i know hornaceck is a good coach. I watched a lot of suns game. I think that organization let him down by getting rid of his players after his good first year

I was just pointing out what to expect from Jeff not questioning if you knew he was a good coach. I think Phil brought him in specifically for his basketball mind and his feel for the players. I don't expect Phil to interfere with how Jeff coaches the team. I don't think he brought Jeff in for him to have to Micro Manage him. I think Phil wants to be able to relax and trust his coach. I think Phil is confident in what Jeff can do and not looking to impose on him any kind of set % of Triangle etc. I think the media has made it seem like this is a possibility when I don't see it being so.
