Knicks legend Willis Reed knows what ails the franchise — not having Phil Jackson as its head coach.
Attending the Hall of Fame press conference Saturday, Reed, a Louisiana resident, told The Post that Jackson has assembled enough talent to win but needs a great coach. A coach like Jackson.
Reed never mentioned coach Jeff Hornacek by name, but said the Knicks aren’t getting the most out of their roster…
“Unfortunately for us as Knicks fans, if Phil Jackson had been coaching all year, we would’ve won more games,’’ Reed told The Post. “His toughness and ability to make guys concentrate, that’s what I loved about him as a coach. He got guys to play harder and smarter.”
