Michael McGuire, a hardworking coal miner, didn’t let a shift covered in dirt stop him from sharing a special basketball game with his son at the University of Kentucky’s Rupp Arena. The heartwarming scene was captured in a viral photo that struck a chord with none other than University of Kentucky Men’s Basketball Coach John Calipari.
During a press conference, Coach Calipari revealed that the photo hit him “right between the eyes.” He took to Twitter to share the poignant image and express why it resounded with him: “My family’s American dream started in a Clarksburg, WV coal mine, so this picture hits home.”
The coach was determined to give the McGuire family a memorable experience, and he reached out to Michael’s wife, Mollie. According to Mollie, her husband is a dedicated and selfless father who frequently makes the effort to spend quality time with their son, even after grueling work shifts. “He’s done this many times,” Mollie conveyed
