Daughter and a journalist: Abby Hornacek talks dad, Knicks

A certain sports journalist in Chicago believes she has strong insight into attributes that make Jeff Hornacek a good NBA coach.

“He’s the most dedicated person I’ve ever met, most motivated,’’ Hornacek’s 22-year-old daughter, Abby, told The Post in a phone interview. “That’s been great for me growing up, having him as a role model. After a game, he comes home and watches the game two times. He really puts everything he has into it. That’s what makes him really great.’’

Abby, a journalism major at USC, landed her first full-time gig in mid-August with a Jerry Reinsdorf-owned digital network 120 Sports in Chicago.
