The smile is back on the face of Randy Ayers, who was fired in his first season as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.  

That?s because Ayers arrived at the Moody Bible Institute for the Chicago pre-Draft camp and received a warm welcome from friends and fellow NBA folks.  

Ayers is not bitter about the experience.

"You never get over the timing of it, 52 games," Ayers said. "But you have to do what you have to do and move on."
Ayers has had time to re-connect with his family, including with his son Ryan, a 6?6? high school basketball star who made an oral commitment to attend Notre Dame.
