The New York Knicks don't plan on firing Jeff Hornacek this offseason.

The Knicks have struggled this season and Phil Jackson reversed Hornacek's offense to re-emphasize the triangle.

The Knicks have had four head coaches during Jackson's three-year tenure.

Even Kristaps Porzingis classified the offense’s travails as causing “confusion.’’

 

Sources insist Derek Fisher was dismissed because of his lack of communication with Jackson, failing to respond to Jackson’s emails promptly and a passive-aggressive resistance to Jackson being involved with coaching aspects. Hornacek, however, has maintained a strong rapport with both Jackson and Kurt Rambis.

“Phil can’t afford to fire [Hornacek] and bring in a new coach,’’ said another NBA source, who has spoken to Jackson.

Hornacek is not worried about being the fall guy for the Knicks' issues.

“No, we’re all going through this,’’ Hornacek said after Wednesday’s practice. “Every single guy, every single coach, every part of management is to blame. We’re all in it together. There’s no other talk of anything. We’re trying to grow from this.’’
