J-Will Envisions Being Coach Some Day

Possibly coming to a sideline someday sooner rather than later: A tattooed, twang-talking point guard-turned-coach who is able to command respect both because of the way he visualizes and verbalizes the game and also for the way that he plays it.

Clearly, at 35 years old and 12 years into his NBA career, Orlando Magic point guard Jason Williams has hit the twilight of his playing days. That thought has already hit Williams and those around him think that he would someday make a great coach because of his ability to see the game and verbalize it even if it’s often peppered with the aforementioned twang and some blue language.

Just imagine -- the flashy player once known as `White Chocolate’ could be viewed someday soon as `Old Faithful’ the coach.

``I’d absolutely love (the thought of coaching). College, I’d have to go back and get my degree before I could do that. But I’d love to coach these (NBA) guys one day and be like an individual coach or a position coach,’’ Williams said. ``But I just don’t want the responsibility of all the scouting.’’
