The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau as a result of…..

Steve Mills and Scott Perry did not waste any time in firing head coach Jeff Hornacek. Per ESPNโ€™s Adrian Wojnarowski:

ย 

Knicks president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry informed Hornacek of his firing upon the teamโ€™s return to suburban New York following a flight back from a 108-95 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

ย 

Hornacek had one year left on his contract. Kurt Rambis, associate head coach under Hornacek, was also dismissed.

ย 

Whoa whoa whoa…you buried the lede there, Woj. You mean Kurt Rambis has been fired too? THE TRIANGLE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD! LONG LIVE ALL THE OTHER SHAPES!

ย 

According to Woj, the Knicksโ€™ front office already has a list of potential replacements for Hornacek. As usual with the Knicks, the list is filled with retreads: former Grizzlies coach David Fizdale, former Cavaliers coach David Blatt and former Warriors coach Mark Jackson. The final name on the list, current G League coach Jerry Stackhouse, is the only one without previous NBA coaching experience. Iโ€™m partial to the fresh blood myself, but let us know who youโ€™d like to replace Hornacek in the comments.
