Most of the time, NBA teams do whatever they can to fight off distractions.

“It was beautiful. I saw a few smiles. I saw some happy faces. Everyone could have some distractions from real life.”

I am preparing myself with knowledge, and not the distractions designed to stoke fear and paralysis.

For both to survive this long as head coaches at the same schools when parents frequently can become distractions is testament to their personalities and skills.

In this cramped space, I’d have the luxury of living without a car or a big house, free of constant distractions.
