JAMES DOLAN

For verbally kicking

while he is down. In a published report, Dolan knocked Hornacek for being “way behind” when it came to knowing how to deal with today’s NBA players. There was no need for this gratuitous shot. Yet no one should be surprised Dolan took the low road. It’s how the Garden boss operates. And it should be a cautionary tale for those lining up to try and secure the Knicks coaching gig. Go in with eyes wide open. Know exactly the mess you are getting into.
