They love going to Wright State basketball games.
This past season Julian “JuJu” Chambliss — now 3 ½ — couldn’t leave for the Nutter Center until he was wearing his Raiders’ basketball jersey and had his Rowdy basketball in his hands.
Once at the arena, he and his 1-year-old brother Kellen would sit with their mom, Melissa, several rows up from the court, directly across the floor from the WSU bench. That’s where all the coaches’ families sat.
The boys would watch until their dad, Raiders’ assistant Sharif Chambliss, appeared from the dressing room. Kellen would cry out “Dada” and Julian, if possible, would slip to the edge of the court to give his dad a hug.
“Then he’d be off running around with all the other kids,” Sharif laughed.
