Jeff Hornacek has had a long career in the NBA that spans from 1986 to 2000. That's a lot of time to be playing basketball. I play basketball for five minutes and I'm winded. After he retired from the game, he became head coach for the New York Knicks. He was let go by the Knicks with a year left on his contract. That might have had to do with two brutal seasons.
Jeff Hornacek's daughter, Abby Hornaceck, is a sports journalist. She hosts a show called The Rally, which is a nightly show on Watch Stadium. When her father was fired, she notably came to his defense, saying: "A lot of people only saw what he did on the court, but we saw all of the 4am nights watching game film and the way he poured everything he had into this team. It's the same way he pours everything he has into our family."
