People really don't care, in some ways, that you have a family. With a high profile job like I have, they just want you to win basketball games. You can do that and still keep your family together. I try the best I can to be at the basketball practices or tennis practices or recitals. In my first year at Dallas my (then 11-year old) son Avery Jr. , said, "You know daddy, you're still the best coach in the NBA. " I was like, "But I haven't won a playoff game yet. " And he said, "That's okay. You're still my daddy. " That makes you feel good.
