Barnes has four grandchildren from her daughter Carley and son-in-law, Josh Lickteig, and their name is Avery, Caleb, Emma, and Isla. 

Four years ago, Carley and her husband adopted a son from Uganda called Caleb Richard. He is now five years old. They returned to Uganda two and a half years ago to adopt their 8-year-old daughter Avery Grace.

 Before they got married, Barnes claimed that his daughter and son-in-law had a love for adoption. The procedure moved swiftly.

Grandpa and his grandchildren instantly connected. Caleb had a unique celebration on his 11th birthday. On Saturday, he watched Tennessee basketball's 52-51 loss to Texas from the bench with his grandfather.

When Barnes agreed to ESPN's request to have the Vols and Longhorns play in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, it was all part of his plan.

Barnes first revealed in September that Caleb's birthday played a role in his choice to accept the challenge.

He had previously rejected offers to go back to Texas, but this time he was open to going back to Austin, where he spent 17 seasons as the Longhorns' coach.

His decision to change his mind was motivated by several factors, including Caleb's birthday and the chance to have him sit on the bench. Baren noted that it was also significant because it was his grandson's birthday.

On May 31, Carley gave birth to another daughter, Emerson Blair, and Rick once more became a grandfather. The best way Carley can describe her father is the extent he went to be there for her.
