Ewing to interview for Bobcats job

CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA — Two people familiar with the situation say the Bobcats will interview Orlando assistant Patrick Ewing on Thursday in Charlotte for their vacant head coaching position.

The people say Charlotte will interview Memphis assistant Dave Joerger on Friday. The people spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't publicly announced its list of candidates.

Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is friends with Ewing, but is not expected to sit in on the interview. General manager Rich Cho and president of basketball operations Rod Higgins have handled interviews so far.

Charlotte has interviewed assistant coaches Michael Malone from Golden State, Cleveland's Nate Tibbetts, St. John's Mike Dunlap and expressed interest in Indiana's Brian Shaw.
