"Sometimes it can be difficult when a high school coach also has his son on the team, but then there are those unforgettable moments that make every second spent together magical. Such a moment happened on Friday night for Oak Park basketball coach Aaron Shaw and his son, sophomore guard Grant Shaw. Grant made a three-pointer from beyond the top of the key as the buzzer sounded to give host Oak Park a 54-51 win over rival Agoura."
"Watching from the bench was his father, who didn't understand why his son was headed out of the gym. "The coaches were asking, 'Where is he going?'" he said. It turns out the surge of people celebrating forced Grant into the foyer. His father reminded him afterward to perhaps next time stay in the gym. But make no mistake about, Aaron has won two Southern Section titles as a coach, and this moment ranks up among the best."
Sophomore guard Grant Shaw hit a three-pointer from beyond the top of the key as the buzzer sounded, giving host Oak Park a 54-51 victory over rival Agoura. The final shot sparked a massive celebration in which Grant ran toward an exit and was carried into the gym foyer by teammates and delirious fans. Coaches on the bench, including his father Aaron Shaw, initially wondered where he had gone before the reason became clear. Aaron, a two-time Southern Section champion as a coach, described the moment as a proud dad moment and advised staying inside the gym next time.
