Sources: Ewing To Get Interview For Bobcats Gig Thursday (Updated With News!)


Recommended Posts

Straight from the NBA ESPN page...

The Charlotte Bobcats' coaching search will continue this week when owner Michael Jordan's club interviews Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing on Thursday

Ewing, a close friend of Jordan's and currently an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic, will be the biggest name yet to speak with the Bobcats.

The Bobcats are also going to interview Mike Dunlap (St. John's University Red Storm: Associate Head Coach) today and Dave Joerger (Memphis Grizzlies: Assistant Coach) on Friday.

The Bobcats are also said to have Stephen Silas (Charlotte Bobcats: Assistant Coach) lined up for an interview for an unspecified date.

The Bobcats have already interviewed Mike Malone (Golden State Warriors: Assistant Coach) and Nate Tibbets (Cleveland Cavaliers: Assistant Coach).

The Bobcats have also shown interest in Brian Shaw (Indiana Pacers: Assistant Coach), Nate McMillan (Portland Trail Blazers: Former Head Coach), and Jerry Sloan (Utah Jazz: Former Head Coach).

Patrick Ewing has a "good chance" to become the Bobcats next head coach, a source tells the New York Post.

Take this for what it's worth. Ewing has been considered a favorite by some because of his noted relationship with Michael Jordan, but the team is doing its due diligence in interviewing a multitude of candidates. There is no reason for Charlotte to rush its decision after winning just seven games this season.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
