Hanif and Adam Karmali: A Royal father and son
Handsworth star Adam Karmali leads his team while his coach, and father, Hanif Karmali looks on.

Point guards are often expected to be a coach on the floor, a direct link between the man on the sidelines with the clipboard and the four other players in shorts and sneakers.

Handsworth basketball coach Hanif Karmali, leading the school’s vaunted senior team for the first time this season, believes that he has a point guard that he can absolutely trust, a player that really is connected to the coach, able to take the game plan off of the page and put it into motion.

It’s no wonder that he has a strong connection to his point guard because that point guard is also his son, Adam. The two aren’t just connected by blood either. Hanif was also a point guard back in the day, suiting up for a King George secondary team that played in the provincial championships. Now Adam is the one with the ball, attempting to lead the Royals to a win in the Howe Sound championships and their own berth in the big dance.
