South Dakota State coach Scott Nagy and his wife, Jamie, faced a difficult choice this weekend. Nagy's team plays its opening round game in the NCAA Tournament against Baylor on the same day that two of his sons will be competing in the South Dakota state basketball tournament. One of the sons, Nick, is a senior and could be playing his final HS game.
Nagy said his wife was conflicted about whether she should join her sons at the state tournament or her husband in Albuquerque, N.M. for the NCAA Tournament. Then, Dad intervened.
"I made a decision for her," Nagy said during today's news conference in Albuquerque. "I said, 'You're married to me. You were with me before we had Nick. So I think you should be with me.' Our boys understand that."
Really? Hmmmmmm. Let's just say every family dynamic is different. And leave it at that.
Nagy said he and his wife will be able to watch their sons play via the interent on Thursday, before the Jackrabbits meet Baylor.

Outrageous that s coach, a person whose whole career revolves around the development of kids, would have so little regard for his own. If I was the mom there would never have been a conversation.

Way to go, Mom. let your kids know you'll bail on them when someone else tells you what's important. Dad's a jerk, sure, but why would this woman give up what a chance to support her child during what could be a life changing moment? There's plenty of time to 'support' her adult husband in his career (why does he even need that from her?) - time's running out on your children being around all the time. D****bags - both of them.

Clearly both parents would like to be there with their children. Family's get separated all the time when sports are involved. This is one of the greatest moments in his life and to not have his wife there with him? Not to downplay SDSU, but, there is a greater chance his sons will have another game(it's only first round and they are favored)than SDSU will have a second. It's her moment too, their lives had been through the ringer at one time, when this program was at it's all-time low. I won't sit by and let the kind of person Coach Nagy is be disparaged because of one blurb. He is a deeply devout family man, 5 children, one an adopted Haitian girl. He helps raise awareness of shoeless children by coaching barefoot for a couple games a year, where fans are urged to bring in pairs of shoes to be shipped overseas. Does volunteer work in Haiti. So, why don't you learn about a man first before you try to bring him down.

Wrong!! The sons last game will be Saturday (win or lose) and she will be there for that.
