Chris Paul likely won't be joining the NBA's coaching ranks once his playing days are over.
The veteran point guard was asked if he has any interest in becoming a head coach during a recent appearance on "The Shop" and was quick to shoot down the idea.
"No," Paul said. "Honestly, I'll tell you, I don't wanna travel like that."
Paul, who has experience coaching at the Amateur Athletic Union level, went on to explain that he thinks it would be a lot more difficult to coach an NBA team than it is to coach youth players.
"That's why I love AAU, 'cause you get a chance to actually mold kids at an early age. 'Cause when we get to the NBA, we ain't trying to hear none of that shit," Paul said. "For real, you get to the NBA, I mean, I can't imagine coaching us 'cause we feel like we know everything."
While Paul may not be keen on becoming a head coach, a number of NBA general managers believe he would fare well in the role. The 38-year-old was voted as the active player who would make the best head coach one day in the NBA GM survey for the 2022-23 season, as well as the previous two years.
