If Chris Paul know the rules that well, he should become an official when he retires. NHL holds officiating combines for former players, so that is something the NBA could do as well.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Chris Paul step on an NBA court as an official.

And I thought some of your other posts were dumb.

Why not? Chris Paul seems to have pretty good rules knowledge, at least for this situation. Bernie Fryer, Leon Wood, and Haywoode Workman have already made the transition from player to official in the NBA, so Chris would have some precedent for becoming an official himself.

Paul is one of the biggest whinners in the game of basketball, complaining about all kinds of things not based on rules. Any player could be good as an official if they apply themselves, but this rule does not make him a rules expert. Sorry, but your assertion on this situation that he can be a good official because he knows one rule is kind of silly. Most broadcasters think they know the rules and show how ignorant they are every time they speak. I see nothing in Paul that shows he would be much better just because of this situation.

According to some news articles, Chris Paul was reacting to someone in the crowd yelling, "Delay of game".

Maybe Chris knows other rules. Still, my comments about Chris Paul becoming an official were not totally serious. Humor does not translate well over the Internet.
