Chauncey Billups, an NBA champion and all-time great with the Detroit Pistons, wants to be the head coach of an NBA franchise. It’s been well known ever since Billups hung up his sneakers that he wanted back into the NBA fold in some capacity. He had previously expressed interest in an NBA general manager role but had also been highly thought of as a coaching candidate.
He didn’t, however, have any interest in toiling away on the back benches of a franchise or in a lower-level executive role as he worked his way up through the system.
