WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- For the first time in his professional basketball career Paul Davis is at a crossroads.

Davis, 27 and a former Winston-Salem State star, is torn between continuing his playing career and pursuing a coaching career.

“Some days I think I’d be fine in a coat and tie and sitting on the bench,” said Davis, a 6-9, shot-blocking machine who has played for eight different teams all over the world. “And then there are other days where I still want to play.”

What has Davis, a 2012 graduate of WSSU, thinking about his post-playing career is that he doesn’t have any solid offers to play abroad. After playing stints in Lithuania, Australia, Ireland, Chile, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and Tunisia he admits to leading a charmed life.
