My Take
Jeff Hornacek is exactly the kind of basketball lifer I admire. At six-three from suburban Illinois, he survived in the NBA on craft, smart shooting, and feel for the game rather than raw athleticism. What impresses me more is the second act: head coaching jobs with the Suns and Knicks, then a consulting role with the Jazz. That long, unglamorous commitment to the sport, on the floor and on the bench, signals someone who genuinely loves the work. He reads like a quiet craftsman who understands the details, and those are usually the people holding the game together.
