Jeffrey John Hornacek (/ˈ h ɔːr n ə s ɛ k / ; born May 3, 1963) is an American former professional basketball coach and player. He was the head coach for both the Phoenix Suns (2013–2016) and the New York Knicks (2016–2018) of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played shooting guard in the NBA from 1986 through 2000.
After his sixth and most productive season in 1991–92, in which he led the Suns in scoring average (20.1 ppg) and earned an All-Star appearance, Hornacek was traded (along with Andrew Lang and Tim Perry) to the Philadelphia 76ers for Charles Barkley. With Hersey Hawkins, the Sixers’ leading scorer, in the shooting guard position, Hornacek was assigned point guard responsibilities. Although he had a career high 6.9 assists per game in his only complete season with the Sixers (1992–93 season), his stint as a point guard was not a success (26 wins, 56 losses). Midway through the 1993–94 season (February 24) he was traded to the Utah Jazz (for Jeff Malone) where he could return to his natural shooting guard position alongside John Stockton.
Hornacek is of Czech descent. He is the brother-in-law of Phoenix Suns athletic trainer Aaron Nelson. When Joe Proski was the Suns’ head athletic trainer, Hornacek recommended Nelson as an assistant for him. Nelson would be his assistant in 1993 before being the head athletic trainer in 2000 onward. Hornacek’s father, John, was a high school coach for basketball and baseball at St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Illinois. Hornacek considers his father, alongside Cotton Fitzsimmons and Jerry Sloan, as an influence towards his coaching career.
