With the season coming to a close, it’s time for the New York Knicks to look ahead and determine how to improve the defense for the 2017-18 season. There are a few former coaches who may improve the team’s defense if hired as a consultant or as an assistant coach.
If the Knicks decide to hire an assistant to Hornacek who specializes in defense, then the options will be intriguing.
Phil Jackson and Jeff Hornacek anointed Kurt Rambis as the team’s defensive specialist early in the 2016-17 season. With 10 games remaining in 2016-17, it appears the Knicks were unable to resolve their defensive woes.
