Could be his interactions with players

Magic wasn't no good at coaching...

Nobody gave Kareem a chance because they felt he was a introvert

 

[Joe Sixpack]

There is a bias against big men/Centers as far as being head coaches..

If you notice alot of former PGs get head coaching jobs mad easy. They have always been looked at as extentions of head coaches on the floor. Big men are looked at as big oafs who wait for the ball..

Magic don't care about coaching like that.
I wasn't aware Kareem wanted to be a coach.
