Why Isn't Patrick Ewing working for the Knicks?

In an interesting article written in today's NY Daily News, Frank Isola asks the question: why isn't Patrick Ewing working for the Knicks when he is adored by most Knicks fans? Isola makes a point when her says that it's ridiculous that NY brass hasn't even as much as reached out to Patrick to at least offer an interview, after introducing him every time he comes back to the garden as "one of the greatest Knicks ever to play inside Madison Square Garden."

The only answer that I can think of is plain and simple - James Dolan, Jr. doesn't like Patrick Ewing. What else could it possibly be? They have offered interviews to the likes of Starks and Houston, so why not Ewing? Ewing was 2 times the player that either Houston or Starks was, and he was with the team for much longer than either of those guys. So why the cold shoulder? It just doesn't make sense! Oh wait, lets recall that Dolan is the same guy who hired Isiah Thomas and allowed him to spend all the available cash on horrible players that were too out of shape or crazy to play. Dolan is responsible for sinking a once championship caliber ship, and for making it the laughing stock of the league. As long as Dolan is in charge, I think the better question is - should we be surprised?
