Ewing不會加入尼克教練團 - 奧蘭多魔術 Orlando Magic

New York Coach Mike D'Antoni says Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing, credited

with helping sharpen the play of Orlando all-star center Dwight Howard this

season, isn't expected to be on his Knicks coaching staff when he finishes

selecting it.

D'Antoni told Newsday's Alan Hahn that Ewing isn't likely to be interested in

joining his staff.

Newsday, citing a person with knowledge of the situation, said Ewing is upset

that new Knicks President of Basketball Operations Donnie Walsh did not get

in touch with him when Walsh was searching for a head coach for the team.

Ewing, who also has worked with the Houston Rockets' Yao Ming on former

coach Jeff Van Gundy's staff, would like to become the head coach of an NBA

team. Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy had recommended before D'Antoni was hired

that the Knicks consider Ewing for their head-coaching job.

"I don't even know the situation or anything," D'Antoni told Newsday.

"I've got like 200 people that I need to go through, so the process is long,

and we're just trying to get the best. [Ewing's] a great coach and he's done

a great job, but we're just trying to get the best for what works for us."

D'Antoni might have a chance to talk with some of those candidates next week

at the NBA Predraft Camp in Orlando.

D'Antoni is expected to hire his brother Dan, and another member of his

Phoenix Suns staff, Phil Weber, as assistants, and Herb Williams is expected

to remain


Ewing暫時不會回大蘋果

恭喜成為今年夏天魔術留下的第一人(誤)

最後拜託Otis Smith

可以把Armstrong找回來當助理教練嗎?
