Good heartwarming story about a good hard working man in the good ole state of Kentucky. Gotta love it.
Yup it is nice. I used to go to both my sons practice’s right after work. I’d be all tired but it was worth it. They played both little league and peewee football. Good times😊
I feel like the WORLD needed this story. So heartwarming.
This I what I'm talkin about! Good to see when hard working folks get some due!
Outstanding. The son will never forget it. I know it meant a lot to the whole family
The man is a good father. Good man.

Just awesome,family should be important
Got to admit that last photo really got me... Thank you.
What a fantastic father...so deserving God bless and thank you to the COACH who was willing to stand up and say HEH this is a special moment.
Our nephew lives in Pikeville and we have been there twice; for his UPike graduation and his marriage to an awesome Hazard, KY woman. During our visits, we found the people of Pikeville to be friendly, open, good hearted, and hardworking folks. This coal mining father is a prime example of the great people of Pikeville.
God, Family, Country and Freedom
Great Dad.
⚒🛠 Hardworking Man right there.
Speaking of the coach that's a man who hadn't forgot where he come good job coach
Thats whats sports should be taking care of the fan. God bless this hard working man and Coach Calipari for takimg care of the family.
Now that’s what a lot of kids need. A loving father.
Wholesome AF
Best story in sports this year.
a great story. real feel-good story that we all damn sure need .
Love it. Thank you
Your the MAN 👍✌️
He should be Time's Man of the Year and Father of the Year. We know that will not happen because he is a blue collar worker.
My Dad was a coal miner. I am proud to be a coal miners daughter. Love this story. I remember running to my DAD'S truck, he would run his finger across my top lip and make me a coal dust mustache.
What a sweet story. God bless your dad. How is he doing hope hes fine
@@leluthor5357 Mt Dad died 37 years ago. He got sick this time of year and died the following March. Poor soul, he worked underground for about 40 years.
@@kathyrama4570 ouch im sorry may he rest in eternal peace. Loved and remembered by loved ones. Thank u for sharing.
Nice story! These guys like John Calipari and Nick Saban come from these communities and know what that life is like because they lived among these people growing up!
That's America! Period
Pretty damn awesome.
I hope the basketball team sets him up with memorabilia and season tickets
Kentucky basketball is in the blood of many Kentuckians, so this doesn't surprise me at all.
Back in the '80's, there was a story on TV about how a family put off a wedding to attend a Nebraska *freshman* football game.
When a particular school/team plays, next to nothing else matters to lots of sports fans.
Love the big blue nation
Salt of the Earth.
Total respect for the coalminer that knows his priorities with family. Good job to John Calipari for recognizing whats important.
Not sure why. It's what you should do as a parent. Gold star for doing stuff you should be.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I've got a pronoun for this, A real man!
In my day this was normal not a news story. That saddens me to no end. A dad being a dad is freaking news? Jeez this country has gone to hell. My dad laued carpet 12 hrs a day to feed and clothe me and my sisters, call 60 minutes 20 20 and oprah. Sad just freaking sad
I appreciate this comment.
How gauche!
Interesting story, however.. is that the coach?!🤨
This literally happens every night in America. Fathers work a full day then take their family out.
Seriously. What's the big deal.
@@Bo55world just appreciating the dad, what’s wrong with that?
@@lex19xx. nothing.
Coal mining isn't easy as ppl think..it's back breaking labor long hours in cold dark mud... Kentucky basketball is a big deal Pikeville had this game as a charity event due to the flood this past august
He is also Making America Great, through coal mining.
I dont understand why this is news. Is being a dad that strange a notion in the US these days? SMH.
Most of you people must work at a desk all day. It's called work. Millions of us do it. No big deal
Many people do this--no big deal
hard working man do this everyday...how is this news? Bags under his eyes or coffee and alcohol on his breath scars on his hands and heart...and nicotine stained beard #realAmericandad
Caalllmmm dooowwwnnn.
Great story,. sad part is that if the Democrats get their way this man and all coal miners will be out of a job
When you can't afford to take a hour off work to shower . Biden Gfy.
Black face haha
Great photo. Great story.
Since this “story” first broke, I did some deep and thorough research. This dude is literally the first man to ever go straight from his blue collar job to a basketball game. He should get a statue to commemorate his heroics. 👍🙂
He definitely deserves praise and I'm glad he is getting recognized. I doubt he is the first to ever do this. He is just the first to be seen in a public light with social media. Men were doing that long before there was Social Media but it was expected back then as being part of being a good Dad.
How long have you worked in the coal mine industry?
@@asking4mebartender630 I have worked construction in dirty steel mills, manufacturing plants, and yes, mines. I went many places straight from my job. And I always stopped by a restroom to wash my face if it was dirty🙂
What does this comment even mean? Of course he isn't, but he is a good dad, which you see less and less of these days. What's your deal?
