Coach is an absolutely amazing man. Terry writes an excellent story about Scott and his family.
The house and yard are amply lit and decorated. They have been since October, and he'd been plotting a way to stabilize the inflatable snowman that guards the front door since it blew away last winter.
Nagy's response to the question is not so much an answer as a revelation into the private life of a man publicly defined by his profession and his success.
"I do, I like Christmas," the South Dakota State University men's basketball coach said. "I think part of it is after my parents got divorced, you have to see my mom and then my dad, and I really didn't look forward to it. So I didn't want that for my kids."
Family is something you're born into and, in Nagy's case, so was basketball. It remains that way. He's one of 336 NCAA Division I coaches and has five kids, all younger than 13.
He balances the demands of two worlds that don't belong together but can't be kept apart.
Last winter, smack dab in the middle of SDSU's transition from Division II to Division I, undoubtedly the most difficult challenge of his professional career, Nagy and his wife, Jamie, adopted a child - Naika, a toddler from Haiti. Both Scott and Jamie had been adopted themselves and wanted to adopt since before any of their four biological children were born.
