The Hoiberg family is not the only one experiencing this. There are 20 Division I men's teams with a coach who has at least one son playing for him this season. Each of these families has their own unique story, their own moments of joy and pride.For the Hoibergs, it's about more than just basketball. It's about the time they spend together, the quality moments they share, and the adversity they face together. It's about the pure joy they feel when one of them does something special on the court. Sam and Charlie have always been close. They played high school ball together and now they are part of the same basketball program. Charlie has been a big help to Sam, reminding him of his best moments and helping him build confidence. Fred, the coach, hasn't had much time to savor the experience, but he knows he will when things slow down. Charlie, on the other hand, is soaking it all in. He's having a great time being with his dad and brother every day. This is a story about family, about dreams, and about the joy of shared experiences. It's a story that goes beyond basketball, beyond wins and losses. It's a story about the Hoibergs and their journey together.
