DALLAS -- As player, Patrick Ewing worked his way through an illustrious career that ended in the Basketball Hall of Fame. He still hopes the same work ethic pays off as a coach.Ewing, now in his seventh year as an assistant, still believes he will become an NBA head coach someday, but he is beginning to wonder how long the wait will be.
"Hopefully, sooner rather than later,'' he said before serving as the coach of the Sophomore Team in the Rookie Challenge at All-Star Weekend. "I feel like I'm ready now, but it's about building up my resume until it happens.''
His sophomores lost, 140-128, and it wasn't exactly his kind of game -- he likes it more serious -- but it was a chance to be seen, and add to his list of experiences.
"I still think it will happen, but I have no timetable,'' he said. "I want to have as much experience as possible, make sure I'm ready, when my time comes.''
Ewing, 47, is in his third year with Magic coach Stan Van Gundy. He previously worked as an assistant with the Washington Wizards and Houston Rockets.
He has been the head coach in the NBA Summer League and also in previous NBA Pre-Draft Camps. He has worked closely in Orlando with Magic center Dwight Howard.
Ewing, one of the greatest players in New York Knicks history, is hoping to be considered by the New Jersey Nets when they hire a new head coach for next season. The Knicks didn't even consider him before hiring Mike D'Antoni before last season.
"I'd love to get an interview in New Jersey. I could help them. I'd love to get an interview anywhere,'' he said. "Unfortunately, I haven't gotten one yet. Right now, I'm just looking and learning. But at some point, I have to get over this hump.''
