A rather particular event was recorded this Monday in a University of Kentucky basketball gamewhich ended up moving coach John Calipari.
In the last game of the university league team, one of the spectators caught the attention of the coach, to the point that he decided to take a picture of him.
In the stands of the stadium he managed to see a miner all dustywho from his appearance can be deduced that he had just left work, along with his son and his wife.
Caripali asked his assistants to find out a little about the characterand decided to have a nice gesture with him and his family.
Through his Twitter account, the coach published a message to locate the miner and give him a gift for the next game.
“From what I’m told, after his shift, he ran over to be with his son and see our team. I don’t know who he is, but I have tickets for him and his family at Rupp to be treated like VIPs.Caripali said.
He also remembered his beginnings and wanted to share it with his followers: “My family’s American dream began in a coal mine in Clarksburg, West Virginia, so this image hits home.”
“Today I thought a lot about my grandfather, who worked underground in the mine. I also had the privilege of going underground with miners in KY and was struck by one comment: “We go down together and we go out together“. They work for each other. The best teammates!!” added Caripali.
