Yeah, no argument.

It's pretty much my kids are in sports.

It's no drama.

It's

Like, you know, from me just coaching, I'm all about the fun, letting the kids develop, go through adversity on their own path, but still being a parent figure, knowing that they have your backing.

So I just took everything from my parents and just, I love being a parent.

Yeah, 100 percent.

Only when I got older, because I realized.

Academically in sports, parents had to be on me because, I mean, we grew up in Wilmington.

If they weren't, I think me and my brother would have went down the wrong path.

But because my mom and dad were so hard on me with just beatings, I respect that now being older because I'm like, man, I'm a good father.

I'm a great husband.

I'm big into the community.

I love doing what I'm doing.

But that's from all the younger lessons that I learned growing up.

So, yeah, I will commend them for everything that they taught me and just took off with it and shaped me into who I am now.

I don't think there is no line.

I think the line is outside the house.

A lot of people will say the line is inside the house, but what happens inside the house...

You could fall back on that.
