One of Jeff Hornacek’s primary objectives for this year’s New York Knicks team is to play a faster version of The Triangle offense.

Hornacek took over as Knicks head coach this summer, walking into an organization that had adopted many of the philosophies of Phil Jackson since the Zen Master took over as team president in 2014. Under former head coach Derek Fisher, the Knicks were playing a brand of basketball synonymous with Jackson – The Triangle.

After much discussion about whether Hornacek will bring with him the style of play he implemented as coach of the Phoenix Suns, the 53-year-old has now confirmed to ESPN’s Ian Begley that The Triangle will stay, but with a difference.

“Phil’s given us the ability to run it any way we want, how we set it up,” Hornacek said. “We talked what we feel is a good working way to run it with different options,” Hornacek said. “We’ll get to all those as the year progresses, but it should be pretty easy.”

The main way Hornacek feels that he can put his personal stamp on the offense is by adding pace to the team’s play to create more fast-break opportunities. He feels as though the personnel added over the summer will help him do just that.

Derrick Rose helps, Brandon Jennings helps, they push the ball,” Hornacek said. “We’re looking for those early, easy buckets. If we can get five, six easy buckets a game just by pushing the ball, that’s a big advantage. That’s what we’re trying to do.”
