Patrick Ewing may finally get his shot to take over as head coach of an NBA team.
According to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Orlando Magic assistant coach and former Knicks center will interview with the Charlotte Bobcats for their vacant head coaching position.
The Bobcats fired Paul Silas after the team finished 7-59, the worst record in NBA history.
Ewing has been with the Magic as an assistant coach since the 2007 season. He finished his 17-year NBA playing career in Orlando in 2002 after 15 seasons with the Knicks and one season with the Sonics.
Taken with the first overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft, Ewing finished his Knicks career first in franchise history in points (23,665), rebounds (10,759) and games played (1,039).
