First of all, I for one am sorry to see Hornacek go. I think he did treat players fairly for the most part. Maybe there some entitlement in there in the rift with Noah. X's and O's he did a decent job I think, especially this season. Players did have a hard time "listening" to him, and I think that was his downfall ultimately...that he's not relatable.
#1 reason for this: Patience was the biggest keyword in the conversation with media from both Perry and Mills. Any head coach that has established himself in the NBA is not going to be given that kind of rope. #2 reason for this: Doc Rivers hasn't won anything in the league since Boston's last championship, Mark Jackson's homophobia has no place in today's NBA and he's also not known as an X's and O's guy. Fizdale...I don't think he's ready for NYC. For the other candidates mentioned in the papers, I don't think they're ready for NYC either. They're either college coaches who must make their mark since they are already head coaches or...they are candidates that are just not intriguing.
I honestly don't see another White coach coming to the Knicks this go around. Perry and Mills started a good repair of the Knicks' image after Phil was completely unrelatable. They need to jumpstart the franchise's head office relatability by hiring a Black coach. Also, since patience is key, I honestly do not see a Head Coach of another franchise being brought in...but probably one of the assistant coaches instead.

Boy, it's amazing how quickly teams turn on these young coaching shining stars... and how quickly the youth label escapes them. :)
I'm still a big fan of Frank Vogel, who coached some mediocre Pacers teams to the conference finals. Then the PG13 injury happened. Big things were expected when he was passed on by the Knicks and was hired by Orlando. Even with superstar PG [semi-sarcasm] Elfrid Payton, they didn't get it done. Their roster lacks a true star. At least we had KP to lean on. I really like the idea of Sam Cassell as our coach - heady player, a bit of the "rich man's Jack". As a player he'd will his team's to win. He's a 3-time champion - obviously his first 2 were with Houston (killing the Knicks in the process) and added another in his final season with the Celtics. So he's got some Rudy T and Doc Rivers in him. Rivers would be an excellent choice, but ain't no fixing our deficiencies in a year. Any (prospective) coaches needs to REALLY want to coach in the NBA, because this is far from a dream job. The pros: “That was two, two from the heart.” - John Starks
