Don Chaney’s assistant-coaching search now moves to Chicago, where he will interview a handful of candidates at the pre-draft camp next week.

Expect Hall of Famer Dave Cowens, Chaney’s former Celtics teammate, to be one of those interviewed, though Cowens is seeking a head coaching job and has had nibbles.

Patrick Ewing, believed to be seeking employment now that Wizards coach Doug Collins has been ousted, could merit an interview, but he’s a longshot because the Knicks already have a big-man coach, Herb Williams. Other interesting names seeking employment are Dennis Johnson, Sidney Lowe, Terry Stotts and K.C. Jones, who claims to be on Chaney’s list.
