    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Former New York Knick Patrick Ewing interviewed with the Houston Rockets on Wednesday for an assistant coaching job with his former coach Jeff Van Gundy.

    "If you asked me a couple of years ago if I wanted to be a coach, I would have said no,'' Ewing told Houston television station KRIV. "But when I was in Orlando one of the coaches down there kept pestering me about it -- why put all that knowledge on the shelf?''

    Van Gundy was hired last week as the new head coach of the Rockets.

    "He's an outstanding coach. He knows the X's and O's,'' Ewing said.

    Ewing is already a fan of Yao Ming, Houston's 7-foot-6 center from China.

    "He should be the next dominant center after Shaquille,'' Ewing said. "His upside is great.''</div>

    This would be great for houston..and ming.Pat really will help ming alot in his post moves....and overall game..
