Patrick Ewing's ultimate goal is to become an NBA head coach. For now, he'll continue to be a crucial part of the Orlando Magic's coaching staff.
Ewing told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday that he has signed a contract extension.
"I'm coming back," Ewing told the Sentinel. "I signed it [the contract] a while ago."
Ewing did not get the opportunity to interview for a head coaching job this offseason. The Philadelphia 76ers (Eddie Jordan) and the Sacramento Kings (Paul Westphal) recently filled their openings, while the Minnesota Timberwolves' situation remains unresolved.
Ewing has been seen as the primary force behind the development of Orlando All-Star center Dwight Howard. The Magic trail the Lakers 3-1 in the NBA Finals.
"I've told Dwight and everybody on the team, 'Y'all better get me a championship,' " Ewing said, according to the Sentinel. "Winning a ring is everybody's goal, whether you're a player or a coach.
"It was a disappointment that I didn't get one as a player, but to get one as a coach would mean a lot."
