Chris Paul on why he chose to play for Skip Prosser at Wake Forest:

How did Wake Forest’s head coach Skip Prosser lure you to his program over others?

He was successful in recruiting me because he was real with me. When he came to see me play in high school, he would be like, “Man, you don’t play defense.” And I knew that if I wanted to become the player I hoped and strove to be, I would need people who were honest with me. I also learned early on that what the head coach thinks matters. At the end of the day, he determines your playing time.
