These are the most definitive statements from Hornacek so far about his version of the Triangle and Phil giving him the freedom to do what he wants.
Hornacek can tweak the triangle: Here's Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek reiterating again that he'll have the freedom to tweak the triangle offense: "We talked a lot about it over the summer. Phil [Jackson's] given us the ability to run it anyway we want, how we set it up. We talked what we feel is a good working way to run it with different options. We'll get to all those as the year progresses, but it should be pretty easy." Jackson has told Hornacek that it's important to allow the players to feel creative in the triangle alignment, which the Knicks will use to space the floor in half-court sets.http://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-knicks/post/_/id/65284/carmelo-anthony-the-knicks-needed-joakim-noahs-intensity |

That's all we have to see. The man with 11 coaching rings see's it. |

It's having the passers who can read the situation and deliver the ball. Lopez actually hurt that as did Afflalo. Jose hurt the Triangle because he refused to really drive or cut with purpose and he couldn't get to the rim or finish so you take that out of the mix. Now we have guards that can and will do those things. It's simply not true that this team will struggle in the same way. Some Noah passing magic! Noah is one of the best passing big men of ever seen. Also, he is an intelligent player who has bonded with Phil. I would be willing to bet that in the half court the triangle will get initiated by Noah Sambakick wrote:

Hopefully in this instance.....
Horny doesn't equal Don Nelson and Phil doesn't equal Patrick Ewing. |

Noah definitely needs to be used to execute passing to cutters and shooters coming around on curls etc. That is the half court stuff. I think Rose was having initial issues with how to transition into the Side Triangle stuff by reading what the D is doing as he comes up the floor and making the right decision whether to explore Early Offense or set up in half court. Then you have other reads that the new guys have to get used to, but in time it all becomes much easier. |

I see one of the worst records as a coach in the history of this league. I see someone who had teams of all types and couldnt make it work anywhere, including here. Phil sees a longtime friend and doesn't care what kind of a job he does. Phil was ready to hand him the full time job in spite of showing absolutely nothing as a head coach, again. Thats friendship, little else. |
