Great coach, fine gentleman. Prayers and best wishes to his family.

Incredible the man left the best college coaching job at the time to start an athletic program at a no name school. The man was not afraid of challenges.

 

[volinbham]

UAB owes him a major debt. RIP Gene Bartow.

+1..Well said Hman, I couldn't agree more. When Memphis goes down to UAB this Sat there will be a lot of emotions in that game. RIP coach.
