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.

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
