Patrick Ewing will coach in the NBA’s Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam

Orlando Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing will be the head coach for the sophomore team in the Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam on Feb. 12 at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The exhibition is one event at all-star weekend.

The NBA made the announcement a few minutes ago.

Adrian Dantley, a Denver Nuggets assistant coach, will coach the rookie squad.

Ewing works often in practice with Dwight Howard, and now Howard will have a chance to critique his mentor.

Howard will serve as an analyst for a portion of the game’s first half alongside TNT play-by-play man Kevin Harlan and commentator Kevin McHale.

Ewing is no stranger all-star weekend. He was selected to 11 all-star teams as a player.
